[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 653333, member: 17461"] The crying is a manipulation. If you allow it to move you, you will have taught your grown man son that the way to get his way in the world is, not to find work or find food or find some kind of social services, but to cry to his mother. Can you say, "Oh, that's terrible! I'm so sorry this is happening. [I]What are you going to do?[/I]" Though your son is probably more than capable of finding local social services numbers himself, look them up online and have those ready to give him next time he calls. Your son is choosing to be homeless. Until he changes his mind about where he wants to take his life, you will not be able to help him. Al Anon will be a source of strength and support for you. N A M I will be a source of strength and support for you, too. We are right here twenty four seven, and are struggling to find our ways with our grown children, too. I am so glad you found us. It is a little easier when we are not so alone with it. Holding you in my thoughts, today. Cedar [/QUOTE]
