[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 672745, member: 15801"] Hugs to both of you dealing with your kids who are homeless. The hardest time I had was when my son was homeless in Denver in the middle of winter. So I get how hard it is for you right now. So they find ways to survive. They learn from others on the street...and there are services for the homeless...shelters and meals. They find ways to survive. How do you survive and get through this? By putting one foot in front of another a day at a time. This is a time to take care of you. Find things you like to do even if you don't feel like doing them. Distraction is a great coping skill. Find a live support group for parents....I found an alanon group for parents that was and continues to be a great support for me. Decide what your limits are. How are you willing to help. The discussion on phones is a great example...some of us five our kids phones, some don't. Either decision is fine as long as it is your decision and you are clear about it. We took the stand with our son that we would help get help when he wanted help...and we have done that (over and over again). Hang in there and keep posting here. [/QUOTE]
