[QUOTE="Rhonda, post: 254682, member: 6732"] Susan, Wow - have been so wrapped up in my own little drama that I just got time to read this! I am so sorry. I can't imagine what I would have done in your shoes. You did great. Do you know where he stayed? I will say this, it really helped me when I knew my daughter was going to need shelter and I did not want her here, to have a number to call. I started with the Coalition for the Homeless and told them my story. I spent all day calling the numbers they gave me and understanding how each organization could or could not help my child. Now I am armed with numbers to give my daughter to call to find a place to stay, to get food, to get counseling, and even free clothing. There are good organizations that will come pick them up and help them if they ask. My daughter has the number to the YMCA and if she loses it I have it right here. They will take her. Community Human Services is another help line here. Salvation Army here offers free Breakfast and Lunch to anyone who comes. Some of them offer shelter or hotel vouchers in emergency situations for one night. He has to be willing to call them and ask though. I would even call for my daughter if she asked me to. Then I would give them her number! Hope this gives you some amo in the future. I am going to look into group homes! That sounds like an alternative for mine if her friends dump her again. Stay strong. Don't give up. I had to put up all the family picture's, I cried every time I looked at them. It really helped me not to see her face everytime I turned around. That child is not who she is anymore and until it is a fond memory instead of a knife through the heart, my pics are in a closed drawer. We can only do what we can! It is so hard to love a lying, manipulating, drug addict, thief... but I do. It is really easy to love that girl in that picture.. but she does not exist anymore. [/QUOTE]
