[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 746505, member: 18516"] No, this is not hateful, just honest. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting peace for our own lives. By you not calling the police on your son while living in his car outside of your home, you were being very kind to him. Sometimes it's best to do just as you did and sit back and allow for natural consequences. I'm so sorry that this is happening. I know first hand how heartbreaking it is to watch your adult child's life fall apart. Yes, all we can do is love them and pray for them, that's it. The rest is up to them. My son is getting ready to be released from the half way house as his parole is coming to an end. I have no idea what kind of plan he has in place or IF he has a plan. I use his past history to predict his future behavior and I'm guessing he will be living a homeless, wandering life before too long. I pray I'm wrong, I pray that he will finally at age 37 come to realize that living his life in chaos is not good for him. The RV idea is a nice one but please use caution before committing to anything. My husband and I bought a nice little house for our son to live in. All he had to do was get a job and start putting his life in order. Our plan was to have him eventually pay us a small amount of rent and after him being responsible for a few years, we would have given him the house. That didn't happen. The house needed some remodeling which we did but my son was to put out to live there while we were doing the remodeling and upgrades. I do not regret doing what we did as we wanted to do everything we could to give him a chance to get his life on a better track. I can honestly look back and say that we really did do everything possible to help him but sadly he refused it all. Hang in there. Enjoy the peace that comes with him not being in his car in front of your house. It's okay to enjoy that and you should. ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
