[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 694749, member: 17720"] Night Owl, this is my biggest concern. My first inclination, when I started reading the thread, was that he is trying and that should be acknowledged and rewarded. But the ultimate message you send, if you give him that chance, is that IF he tries HARD ENOUGH, perhaps things can go back to the way they were. It unfortunately isn't just about him, it is about the safety and security of the rest of the family. In my humble opinion, if we are involved, the times when motivation is high are when we need to PUSH them. When motivation is low, pushing does no good. I am all for him finding other arrangements, especially when the outcome of Job Corps is still uncertain. I agree with COM that he needs to have some skin in the game as far as finding it, but I would help him if he were invested in the search himself. [/QUOTE]
