[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 630327, member: 15801"] They have ways to get food... they learn believe me. My son has stood on street corners begging (yes it horrified me), he has dumpster dived, he has had peoples leftovers at McDonalds... he has found ways to eat. There are resources for the homeless and there are homeless youth and they learn from each other. But what better way to get to mom then to call and say I am hungry? I would definitely not invite him home, but if it makes you feel better meet him with some groceries. I have done that...it isnt perfect and it may be enabling but if it makes you feel better than ok. However from all you have said it doesnt sound like coming home should be an option at all. And I know the worry of having a son homeless.... it is awful and it is worrisome and it is what it is, and it is the choices he has made. I know with my son we have let him be homeless but when he was ready for treatment we helped him get into treatment. At times he got ready.... and did ok until he was no longer ready.... and then off he would go again. TL Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
