[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 553789, member: 13882"] TL, I often think that if I were homeless or hopeless, the last thing I'd be thinking about is posting on FB. Maybe it's just me, because I know our kids really grew up with the internet and it's a part of their identity. I guess the only thing I can relate this to, is if I were in his position, but I used the telephone to call friends, etc. every evening. It just says to me that he's still looking to connect, but he's just not ready to make changes. The fact that he's not really asking for anything or manipulating you is startling, I think. He wants understanding for who he is right now, for the core person he is, but on some level he knows he's really messed up. You are showing him love, hope, encouragement and caring - I pray he'll stop being so cruel to himself. [/QUOTE]
