[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 725681, member: 1550"] Oh trust me. Its hard for all of us. Where I live it is currently [i only know Farenheit...sigh] it is way below zero with snow and we have homeless. For this weather if my daughter, the one I put out at 19, was actually on the street, yes, I would get her a place. But 30F? Naw. People don't die with a coat and boots and hat at 30. The thing is they HAD a place to stay...our homes...until they became dangerous. They gave us no choice but to escort them out. I was tough on my daughter. I found out after she quit that she was a daily cocaine and frequent meth user. While she used I had no idea it was that bad. I too thought it was mostly pot. You don't know either. And, yes, my daughter got tired of drug life with no help from us and quit twelve years ago. She is fruitful, funny, kind, a home owner and a great mom to my adorable grand. Such a difference. I thought she would die or end up in prison. I will always believe that we help more by not helping, even if we cry every night. I hope you can hold up. It is hard, but they chose to be homeless by refusing to follow our simple house rules. Love and hugs from cold, cold Wisconsin! [/QUOTE]
