[QUOTE="Steely, post: 269880, member: 3301"] I just wanted to send hugs. I know that you know the right thing to do.........it is just hard. Very hard. Maybe making a compromise with yourself might help? In other words since you do not want him to sleep on the floor, maybe get him one of those sleep air mattresses and some pillows and sheets. For a dresser maybe go to Target and get some plastic drawers. Etc. You know what I mean. My guess is that deep inside he is unbelievably scared, and in his black and white mind he needs the perfect looking house, or he has failed. However, none of us had the perfect house when starting out. Many of us had nothing - that is just the way it is - and maybe he needs to be reminded that we all start out in life with a few things. He is not abnormal for starting out sparse. In his mental state I would definitely not let him come back home right now, or around you when alone. Is he taking his medications? Hugs & strength.
