[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 687767, member: 15032"] Lil It sounds like you are trapped and I know I felt like that before with my son. It's a desperate feeling. But how can you be, it makes no sense! What if you told him he had to pay you room and board by a certain date while he waits for the apartment to be ready, or else he has to move into a shelter. But you'd have to follow through. I just am trying to think what I would do if I was in that situation. People have to work!! My situation is different than yours because my son dabbled with pills (which was a disaster in itself but then he'd drink whiskey and steal from all of us) and when he was sober and did get a job after much hounding, he'd use the money for pills or weed or whatever an lose the job so we were in a vicious cycle. It's like these kids aren't "hungry" enough to succeed. [/QUOTE]
