[QUOTE="JKF, post: 636125, member: 12470"] Right after I posted earlier I got a call from difficult child. He told me that he called one of the references I gave him for homeless youth and they are going to help him find housing. He said he called and explained his situation and that the social worker at the hospital talked to them as well. The hospital is apparently going to keep him there until a bed opens with this place. The woman from this place also tried to call me earlier but I was busy and couldn't take her call. She left a message saying they will definitely help difficult child and to please call her tomorrow so I can give her more info into his background. I really don't want to get overly involved but I will return her call in the morning and go from there. I'm usually afraid to hope but right now I am the slightest bit hopeful that things are going in the right direction. And all of this happened without me doing any of the work. All I did was give difficult child the phone number but that was it. I left it in his hands and stayed out of it. Once again - to me anyway- total proof that detaching is the key to this whole crazy journey. And I know from experience not to be too optimistic. I'm very aware of the fact that difficult child will probably mess this opportunity up like all of the others but right now, in this moment, all is well. I'll take any small victory I can get at this point......... Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
