[QUOTE="JKF, post: 638865, member: 12470"] Thank you all for the kind words. I would never have come this far without the tremendous support I've received over the years from everyone here. It's crazy to think I've been here almost 3 1/2 years! And what a ride it's been!!! Holy moly! difficult child finally decided to call some shelters today, however too little too late. Every shelter he called is filled to the max due to the rain and cold weather here. He was frustrated but I suggested he keep trying everyday. For now, he said he and his crew "hopped a train" back to another town where they often frequent. There are many resources in that town so although it's cold I'm not super freaked out bc I know he knows the ropes. Ugggh! "The ropes" of homelessness. What a concept. But it is what it is. Anyway, he and his crew have hatched a new plan which is to go to Florida. Apparently the office of temp assistance will give them each a one way bus ticket to get there. I told him that running away from his problems won't solve anything and that even if he goes to Florida he'll still be homeless and he'll still be mentally ill and will need to make an effort in order to get his life together. He said he knows but at least it's warm there and supposedly "there are a ton of services". I guess he has a point about it being warm there and I admit, secretly I'm kind of hoping he goes because I do best when there is a little distance between us. I know that sounds so horribly awful but it's true. And who knows? Maybe this is the next necessary step in his life. Maybe he'll find help there. Maybe it will be a game changer. Maybe......
