[QUOTE="Night Owl Mama, post: 694636, member: 20490"] Thank you for the reminders to keep my boundaries clear and strong. It can be easy to let things slip a bit when he is doing well. We picked up his extra things from the crisis unit to store for him until he is settled into Job Corps housing. Just some clothes and stuff he doesn't have space for while living out of his backpack. He was polite and friendly when we saw him, but I sensed a bit of tension. My guess he is feeling anxiety and trying to not let it show too much, bless him. He was due for discharge in just about an hour. One boundary that I plan to let him know is he can only be here in the home when me and hubby are both home. Hubby works a lot so this will help limit his time here without putting me on the spot. He is donating plasma to pay for food and medications and I will expect him to use his money wisely enough he can feed himself. Like Darkwing said, it's not cruel to expect him take care of his own basic needs. [/QUOTE]
