[QUOTE="luane, post: 632948, member: 18252"] Thank you so much for sharing those details. It is indeed the hope that brings us up and dumps us down so horribly. I guess no one can ever really give up on someone they love. And I am starting to realize how they learn to manipulate us. I truly hope your son goes to the interview, even just an interview is a start. My girlfriend, whose daughter was homeless for a while , told me today she also believes I must stop. Her daughter checked herself into a mental hospital, and the doctors said she needed to leave because she wasn't sick enough, and my friend had the strength to just let her go, she did not bring her back home. She said it was the most difficult decision she'd ever made, but today her daughter is responsible, not perfect, but holding her own.. She also told me to lower my expectations for him. I have been hanging on to these high hopes for school and a normal life for him, perhaps that will not be his life, and I must let go.But , I am still wondering regarding a little monthly help. It seems that It would be a quick pass or fail. He either cleans up and goes to school or not. So thank you for your wise thoughts , it gives me some perspective and things to consider. Enjoy your girls weekend! [/QUOTE]
