[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 692241, member: 17461"] Many things can happen in one month, Lil. The first, most basic thing is that you and your husband will have your home to yourselves and your lives back. From that perspective, you and Jabber will be able to think about how to help. Your son actually did pretty well for himself over the many months he was not living with you the last time. Not well in the usual sense, but he worked, and he had someone he loved, and a chance. *** So...of course you have considered these things. But you do have some bargaining power now (July 1st) that you have not had before, (lately). Lil, I think Nursing Assistants complete their training with a six week course. I don't know what the time frame is for EMT training. But I do know that if he didn't find CNA work rewarding, he could work it while completing EMT. I don't know how your son feels about that kind of work, but he does seem tender-hearted, when you write about him. Six weeks isn't very long at all. It would be shift work, which might suit son very nicely. No waking up in the morning, and perfectly justified in doing so. The thing is you have that July 1st bargaining point. The other thing is that if Son were schooling or working, you would not mind him living at home, right? Maybe, you can use that bargaining point you have now to your (and Son's) full advantage. You could even pay for the month's rent and if he doesn't go to Nursing Assistant training or doesn't pass classes or ~ well, you know where I am going with that. Cedar [/QUOTE]
