[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 659901, member: 1550"] If I'm correct he had a place to stay in a shelter, but messed up so he got kicked out. Apparently, if this is correct (I'm not sure), he doesn't consider a place to live important. There are places to stay, but, just like in our homes, they have rules. Lil, you gave him a hand. You saw what he did with it. Lil, he can get a laborer job. Sure, it's hard work, but he is choosing not to work and that is why he has no income. Like I said earlier, nursing homes are begging for people to work for them and they pay better than average for those who are new in the workforce or have little experience. That isn't the only place. I see "hiring" signs at fast food places too. He doesn't want to work. He could probably apply for social security and see if he can get it. But it is unlikely that right now he will be smart about using what money he gets. Of everyone here, I think you have done as much or more than anyone for his/her child. If they won't accept the help and try, there is nothing you can do. You know there are plenty of places that feed the homeless and he could get Medicaid too for medical care. I think right now talking college is kind of a pipe dream. He doesn't want to work hard and college is hard. You mentioned that your ex was lazy. And similar to him. He has your ex's DNA inside of him. On the other hand he is still young and things can change, but they will change if HE wants them to change, not because you wish they'd change. We all know all you've done for him. He probably wants a smartphone so he can continue his online interent chatting with possible people who he feels will give him places to stay ttemporarily and/or money. I think the government phone is just a flip phone with no bells and whistles. Of course, he can internet/social media chat at the library too. But he wants it at his fingertips. I hope things improve for you and feel so bad for you and Jabber. He has no idea how lucky he is to have parents who love him. Not everybody has that experience. [/QUOTE]
