[QUOTE="Guidance seeker, post: 726083, member: 22632"] Things have reached a crisis again today. My son has been evicted from the homeless accommodation today for throwing a firework from the window of his bedroom “as a joke to give someone a fright” a few nights ago. He also hadn’t paid any rent. He has rang me begging me to put him in a hotel tonight as he has nowhere to go. He has no money at all. So far, I have said he needs to sort it out himself. I know he has 2 watches he can sell which he bought when he was given a lump sum of benefits backdated. The urge to rush in and rescue him is huge. I don’t know if I can let him sleep out on the streets, so far I have never done that. I’ve always arranged the homeless accommodation or booked him in hotels - he always gets evicted and on every occasion he has filled the rooms with junk that he must either buy from people or sell. I think if I pay for a room again, he will not learn and will mess up every time as I’m there to rescue him. He has a flat that he is going to be able to rent soon but we don’t have a date when he will get the keys yet and maybe it will give him some value of how important it is to abide by the rules of where he is staying if things are difficult for him now.
