[QUOTE="Night Owl Mama, post: 694712, member: 20490"] His objection is they keep the lights on for safety all night. It took him hours to fall asleep because of that and he slept very poorly he said. The bed is a thin mat, a towel for a pillow. I suggested he get a sleep mask and offered him a pilow to take back there tonight but he declined it. Maybe he is just playing on my sympathies. There is another shelter in our area...maybe it would suit his needs better. I am totally open to alternatives, religious or otherwise. I have left it up to him to figure out considering how poorly he tends to respond to my ideas. I may at least find him some contact info. I have been taking the stance of "you reap what you sow" and not getting in the way of his life's lessons anymore. Isn't having to stay at the shelter for two weeks part of his life lessons? That uncomfortable experience may just keep him in a Job Corps when the going gets tough because he will remember the alternative! That's kind of what I am thinking...but I so don't want to deal with the drama and guilt of it all. Grrr. [/QUOTE]
