[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 690333, member: 19951"] Karisma, what Tanya said is so true. My son has been homeless, drifter, couch surfer for 16 years (he is 36 now). It's amazing how they do network, know where to go to get food, clothes, the churches who give gift cards. It has been long road for him but the only way I survived was to accept that this is how his life was going to be- he preaches on the street to homeless folks, his love his Bible, loves the Lord. He is now in another state down south and the Lord presented a minister in his path who helped him to get a clean room and is now his payee. He helps other folks like my son. He sounds so much better than he has in years. Maybe this time, life will settle down for him for a while. I have some hope but I also know that he could decide to change these at any given time. His choice, his circus, not my monkey. I just listen, don't get too involved in the drama that comes up and go on with my life. Hopefully he can get SSI and maybe the prosecutor/Judge will allow him to get Inpatient or outpatient treatment vs. going to jail. Yes, staying out of jail, not breaking probation is going to be hard, but if he can go to a facility to get treatment, perhaps he can get a second chance. Keep us posted on his court hearing.
