[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 726513, member: 1550"] Maybe you need therapy to help you. He doesn't have to be homeless. He could clean up, get a job, or just TRY and be nice to you and live in your house. He makes himself homeless by refusing to follow societal rules. If you ever get the urge to house him again, call the hotel and make sure you tell them that son is not to charge anything on your card without them calling you and asking you first. Put him somewhere that has no bar. The substance abuse is very strong with him and he refuses to even admit it's s problem and THAT is why he is homeless. Until he starts following reasonable rules and quits substances, you can't expect him to change. Addicts are a bit crazy. Their brain is not right. I hope you decide to get help, live your life with joy, and learn coping skills so that you don't go broke trying to put a roof over his head. Hebseems to not be able to follow rules that would allow him to stay in places you find for him. Let him find his own places. Or not. He doesn't appreciate your help. You are good and kind and deserve a good life even though your son is not making good choices. in my opinion the best thing you can do for yourself is to limit the time you read your son's texts or talk to him and never check his social media as he will use it to either hurt you or guilt you. I hope you do go for therapy. Good night. [/QUOTE]
