[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 612898, member: 13542"] Echolette, have you attempted to get your son on SSI? He may be eligible for food stamps, medical insurance, etc. It's a limited amount of money, but it may be enough for housing. I believe if someone is homeless, the whole process is quicker too. You may have already mentioned this, but is he supposed to be taking medications and he is non compliant? As I mentioned earlier, once my brother got onto SSI and got a room, he stayed off of the streets and I felt he was safer. And, I think our kids hanging out with people who "horrify us" is common as well. My daughter has brought men to our home who appear to have crawled out from under a rock. My SO always says, "they look like they are casing the joint." My granddaughter calls them "hobos." Sigh. I think our kids hang with people they don't feel judged by and our difficult child's behavior is so bizarre that the sorts of "friends" seem to devolve as time goes on. I also think street people and those who are on the fringe of society form a whole "culture" which we are not even aware of. People who don't live in the world of difficult child really have no clue whatsoever as to what we all go through with our kids and often they do feel free to judge us based on the prevailing attitude that mothers especially are somehow responsible if our kids go off the rails.
