To answer your question on why I would let a non-working abusive 24 year old drug addict live here.


My son is also mentally ill. It's been difficult to delineate the mental illness aspects from the substance abuse aspects. Up until the episode that led to filing a restraining order against him, he was not abusive, other than the small episode of verbal abuse that we originally kicked him out for.


Since becoming homeless, he seems to grasp that it was a situation that we responded correctly to. He has no desire to fix it though.


I am trying to remain detached from it and hope he figures things out before harm comes to him.


Thanks for the hugs.
