[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 649721, member: 17542"] This is a good thread and reading it, it occurs to me that I today see homeless people through the lens of my own son. Maybe you to too. My son has been homeless some five different times in the past few years, some of those times for months at a time. Through cold winters. Who would ever have thought it? I would have told you, some five years ago, that there would never come a day when I would allow my son to homeless...over my dead body. That was the old me. Right now my son is not homeless. He has lived in an apartment that he is paying for since late October of last year. Today when I see homeless people I think these things: Why don't you get a job and work? You are here because of your own self. There is help but you don't want to get it. You are here because you don't want to follow the rules of society. Those are thoughts I had about my own son for a long time. [/QUOTE]
