[QUOTE="donna723, post: 185980, member: 1883"] The thing of it is ... very few people are willing to try to help someone who refuses to make the effort to help themselves! If someone is making a sincere effort to turn their life around, there are all kinds of programs and agencies out there that will help them. If he were willing to really try to make positive changes in his life, the help he needs would be out there for him. Like Janet said, it may not be their "dream job", but there are plenty of jobs out there if they are willing to take them. I work in the prison system and in order to be approved for parole the inmates have to have an approved job lined up ... and they manage to find them! Lots of our inmates find work with restaurant chains or in construction. And these are people with very serious felonies on their record, sometimes multiple felonies - the murderers, kidnappers and rapists! If these people can find a job, so can your son! [/QUOTE]
