[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 659894, member: 17542"] My son got a job at McDonalds and worked there for four months without a place to live. He slept on a bench outside. He got himself up at 2 am and walked to work to be there by 4 am without a shower. He brushed his teeth in their bathroom and he took a shower at he day shelter after he got off work. People can do amazing things when they want to. And when they don't want to, they are amazing in their resistance. You cannot do another single thing for him that will really help him until he decided he is sick and tired of his life and wants it to change. Let him hit this bottom. Maybe this is the one that will preface a turnaround. If you can, stand way way way back. Feel your feelings, like you are, but don't act on them. If nothing changes, nothing changes Lil. Let him walk his own path. We're here with you through this, regardless. This is another turning point for him and if you can stand back, perhaps something new has a chance to happen. Warm hugs for your hurting heart. This is very hard stuff. [/QUOTE]
