[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 559710, member: 13542"] I know how you feel. If it feels right, you could get a list of the local homeless shelters and send him the list, if you haven't done that already. And National Alliance on Mental Illness [url]www.nami.org[/url]., they have a listing on their site for the homeless. Our local Social Services has emergency housing for the homeless, plus food stamps and medical insurance. He has to apply and show up. My difficult child took [U]years[/U] to make [U]one[/U] appointment, so I don't know how much initiative your son has. Or, you can simply stop responding and let him find his own way. You may be at that point and then it would be imperative to let go now. As many parents have realized, our difficult child's are remarkably resourceful when we stop enabling them. I'm sorry Payla, I know how hard it is. As long as he believes you'll respond, he will keep trying, so perhaps the best bet is to stop responding and let him find his own way. ((HUGS))) [/QUOTE]
