[QUOTE="Lil, post: 659949, member: 17309"] Can I lie to myself or what? :p Lay awake a long time last night, some of it was thinking of practical things, like the fact I need to call the attorney because it's him and Jabber on the lease, his clothes and things missing, and he won't be here anymore. Hopefully that can be fixed with just a power of attorney. (Actually, I just did that and he's out of town...joy.) Then there was a little of the catastrophizing...imagining him on the streets in the city - our town has about 40,000 people. The train stops in St. Louis. A reason why we got him a ride to the town. I imagined him calling us and begging to come home; that the girl let him down, etc...that's bound to happen eventually...and if we say no then he's stranded. But I wasn't in hysterics. I lay awake a long time thinking of nothing too. I'm very tired. Worse, I thought I'd be nice and get him the address and phone number of the closest welfare office and homeless shelter. So, I've been looking up the town he's going to. It's only 14,000 people. It's near...but still more than 1/2 hour from, St. Louis. The closest homeless shelter is 20 minutes or more away in a neighboring town. The closest welfare office to apply for food stamps, farther. The closest food pantry, miles and miles away. There is NOTHING in this town he's going to - not even a motel shows up on the internet. What the hell is he thinking? He knows ONE girl there that he can't move in with! He's nuts. I'm going to have a heart attack. [/QUOTE]
