[QUOTE="Caybre, post: 653203, member: 18922"] Hello all. I thought I was the only Mom dealing with a homeless son. He's 27yrs old now and I'm still wrapped up in trying to get him "help". I can say I have seriously tried everything but each and everything I come up with is never good enough. There's always an excuse why this program didn't work, or why he can't get a job, or why he needs something else. Every halfway house or program I find he lasts for about 4 days or a week at the most and then he leaves for one reason or another. He's been in and out of jail since he was a teen and the last time he ended up in prison. He's been out for a few months now and he is still acting up. I live in Florida and I sent him to Texas to go to a residential program, he left after 3 days. They took him back a few times and then finally told him he can't come back. Now he's homeless in Texas and calls me crying to help him find another place. I've been doing the program search for years. When is enough, enough? How do i stop helping when I live with guilt. I feel like this is my fault and I have to fix it. Does letting go mean I don't care any more? It hurts so bad I can hardly stand it. I have lost about 20 pounds (not complaining) , but all from stress. My body hurts and my nerves are shot. I love my son but OMG! [/QUOTE]
