[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 204860, member: 3907"] Tracy, I too think that handing your difficult child a list of available shelters seems like a good approach. With so many of our kids, the short-term help is directly to their long-term detriment. I've seen a sharp deterioration in my difficult child's behaviour every time he's been allowed to come home from Residential Treatment Center (RTC)/Assisted Living for a visit, even for an afternoon. He seems to see it as license to do whatever he wants with no consequences for it. I'm so sorry for your anguish. It's so very hard, but sometimes it's the only way. If he has somewhere safe to crash, he has no incentive to stop partying. If he has to be in the shelter before closing hours and follow all the rules there to be allowed to stay, then he might find himself cleaning up his act all that much sooner. I know that the shelters in my city won't allow people in if they're drunk or high. For many, having a warm bed was enough motivation to not drink or get high that night. {{{HUGS}}} for your hurting mommy heart. Trinity [/QUOTE]
