[QUOTE="Stress Bunny, post: 630355, member: 4855"] Great job recognizing the guilt trip. You are moving in the right direction. Everyone here has offered you great advice already. I will just emphasize that your son has options to get food. If he chooses his drugs over the shelter, then so be it. That is his choice. I know it is hard to watch him make poor choices. I am going through that with my own difficult child. I echo what someone else said that you seem to be more concerned about finding him a place to stay than he is. Try to let that go. The sooner you do, the more likely he will be uncomfortable and willing to make better choices. The same goes for the hunger/sandwich thing. I wouldn't be taken in by that. Let's figure it out. Why is your son hungry? It is not your fault that he is hungry. He is hungry because of the ridiculous choices he continues to make. He won't starve to death. He needs to work his way out of this, the hard way, unfortunately. Food and shelter are basic necessities, and I bet if you take a step back, he will find both. [/QUOTE]
