[QUOTE="raylea, post: 645295, member: 18560"] I dont know for sure if hes going back. I was afraid to ask if it was a round trip or one way ticket. From the things he has said and the few texts I have from my ex it sounds like hes going to stay. My son has anxiety issues and says that he just needs to come home for family support for a while. He says he loves Seattle and there are so many more oppotyunities than in the little "po-dunk" town we are from. So, why hasnt he suceeded there? He has a CNA license and had a CNA job there. Quit because they were working him 60+ hours a week. (we should all be so lucky, my job has forced us to part-time bacause of obama-care). He also quailified for a "homeless housing" type program where they got him into an apartment, set him up with furniture etc. They paid his rent for 6 mos, then after that his rent would be based on his income. After the CNA job went south he never did find a job, lost the apt and now homeless the last 2 weeks. He was supposed to get started in a program called "farestart" there, but his dad booked the ticket home in the meantime so good-bye to that as well. His dad has called me a few times in the past crying about how we cant just leave him all alone in Seattle like this, people are hhoked on heroin there, and just doom and gloom and we have to do something. I just said, you know, he chose to do this, we cant live his life for him. He has had opportunities there that alot of people are never given and he he just turned his back on them. I know my mom has sent him rent money the last couple months hoping that he would land a job in the meantime. He just says nobody will hire him because he lloks homeless, has social dysfunction and on and on. Anyway, thank you for the encouragement, it has helped me remember how strong I was before. I can do it again. [/QUOTE]
