[QUOTE="detachingmother, post: 682206, member: 20063"] I do not remember if I mentioned this in here; I did kick son out probably 8 years ago. He was in and out and all over the streets in Flint, Mi---lots of drug deaths, murders, just like any inner city...couch surfing, you know, living anywhere he could off and on for awhile, sometimes living in his vehicle, sometimes who knows where. In and out of jail. He was kicked out because of drugs coming into my home, with my two younger kids--he also got into trouble with gun charges. I could digress here, because it started out minor with marijuana...when I first kicked him out, it was marijuana. He was ripping me off, his friends were ripping me off....I actually got a legal eviction to make it real to him. I say digress, bc I do feel at fault for how bad things got out of control...it was in the streets he learned about meth. Too late to turn back now with the what ifs... Take refuge in knowing these people usually know how to survive. They adapt. I think sometimes for some of them, it gets easier and easier to lower their own standards. Humans are very adaptable, as you can plainly see when you look at how they live in places like Haiti. It's sad, yes, and I hate to say it that way, but it's true. Well, and they do know on some level it's what they choose. You are right, they choose this lifestyle, over any other way of living. For now. They adapt, and I guess we must adapt too. Hugs to you!!!
