[QUOTE="JMom, post: 685974, member: 19892"] Hello all!! It has gone fairly well, the job hunting was a challenge. After a few "no's" he basically gave up. He did a few odd jobs but rushed out to play with old friends for four days. We had the talk and he's decided on his own to move in with his homeless friend, who now have a shared house. He found a job and says he just wants to come home to visit his sisters when I allow it. He is somewhat sober. You may all understand my new twisted version of sober. He relapsed with Marijuana bit hasn't done the hard stuff. It probably sounds terrible to the rest of the world, but that doesn't wreck my world like when he does meth and heroine. Now the true test is if he returns to everything The person he's staying with was his tent mate, the one he got sober "because of". He took on the caretaker role to the older homeless people. It's so strange this world that's made him feel useful, a sense of purpose. He has no problem working, protecting and feeding his homeless friends. This kid leaves me shaking my head. It has been nice having him home. His sisters adore him. I just hope he stays clean so he can see them in a meaningful way. He knows he has to test negative to see them and he always pulls it off. Drinking coffee on the back porch, watching the birds, no angst. Just feeling blessed that he's still alive to be angry with, love, hold, laugh and sometimes cry, some are not so lucky [/QUOTE]
