[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 687859, member: 20054"] Hi Lil & Jabber. So familiar-but we couldn't/didn't want to see it. Be smarter than we were, whatever you do. Our son even went through the motions (twice) with vocational rehab type placement. (of course we initiated it) he could have had a job and even job coach if necessary. They would have purchased appropriate interview/work clothes if needed. All kinds of assistance and yet after initial few meetings he quit going. He said "I can find my own job" We SHOULD have translated "If I go a few times and appear like I'm trying, you will continue to help me and then I can't pass a drug test so I'll quit going". and so it goes...I know the "homeless" feelings, I'm happy it's getting warmer-I should just say that because I love spring, but it's really because it won't be so cold for him if he's outside at night. I have found it also true as others have said, these kids/adults are much more able to fend for themselves than we would ever be. The question is really "is living in your house allowing this behavior"? We all make our decisions differently, no right or wrong, just our own. Good luck, been there, done that, and wish you didn't have to.... Prayers. [/QUOTE]
