[QUOTE="JKF, post: 584541, member: 12470"] Buddy! hahaha Just saw your comment with the slapping icon. Totally cracking up!!! And flowers and a hug would be more than nice but sometimes I think I need a good slap to snap me out of my funk! haha Nerf - thanks for the suggestion! I'll check that book out. Reading is one of my favorite pastimes and it always helps me relax! RE - Thank you! You are 100% right. It takes time but it does and will get better and you KNOW, as always, I appreciate your support and encouragement! Winnie - Thanks! Sometimes I feel like it's a waste of time, but other times, when he actually listens and takes the help I offer it's so worth it!! So I think I have good news. Scared to "say" it out loud but I think we're on the right track. Just before I spoke with the Homeless Outreach director at the Mental Health Association in our county. I called twice - once yesterday and once today and also emailed- and as annoying as I am she was soooo nice! She understands the situation and sent one of her workers out to meet difficult child at the soup kitchen today at 12:30. I was actually able to reach him on the phone and tell him bc he listened to me earlier and went to the day shelter and was there when I called. I hope they can help him. I really think they can because they said their first step will be to get him off the streets and into a safe shelter and then on medications.
