[QUOTE="PonyGirl65, post: 689441, member: 20087"] Hi Karisma, I just wanted to add my hello and welcome. I also have a son who I consider to be my most favorite person in the whole world. He was also homeless. His issues are all drug-addiction related. He is now in prison and will serve a 5 year sentence for crimes he committed as a result of his drug use. He was never violent with me, not once. My heart breaks for him every single day. For the man he could have been. For the years of fatherhood that he has lost with his son. For the pain and suffering he has gone thru, and that he knows he has caused other people to go through. I am grateful he is imprisoned. Strange as that sounds, but I believe this is the only way to guarantee he will stay alive for the next 5 years. I am afraid to hope that while he is in prison, he will finally latch on to a program of recovery. I am afraid to hope that this time he will "stay" recovered. I guess, I'm also grateful for the respite that this prison sentence gives me. I don't have to worry about him, finding his next meal, having a safe place to sleep, not overdosing, not killing himself or anyone else. My heart goes out to you. I am glad you found us!
