[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 739099, member: 15801"] February - Yes it is very hard and heartbreaking to have an adult child who is homeless. I have been there although my son was a lot younger than yours when he was homeless, although there is definitely a possibility he will someday be homeless again. I hope not, So one of the things I learned when my son was homeless is there are resources for the homeless, there are shelters, there are places that serve meals etc etc. I found out my son was more resourceful than I thought and he is a survivior. And he did learn from the experience. Our stand at this point is we will help him help himself.... but we cant rescue him from himself or do it for him. We certainly cant work harder than they do at saving them. And ultimatelty it is their responsibility to figure out their own lives. We will not be around forever... they need to figure it out without us. Right now it is really important that you take care of yourself!! And dont listen to or buy into any of the junk he tells you.... sounds like you have done lots for him, way more thann many parents would do. [/QUOTE]
