[QUOTE="JKF, post: 607644, member: 12470"] Cedar - by the time he leaves next week it will be two weeks on the streets. The novelty has definitely worn off. He hates it now. He keeps trying to make me feel guilty but I'm not budging. Tonight he said he can't sleep at the train station bc the police are harassing him and he will be up all night now etc. Then he said he was off to sleep in the abandoned parking garage. Ugggghh!! All I said was "I'm sorry. That must be hard." Not an easy thing for me to do but I did it. As for the temp shelter he can't go back there bc he refuses to follow the rules. So they told him not to come back. The curfew there is 4:30 pm and that is just not something difficult child can accept. So that's his choice but now he has to deal with the consequences. I know he wants me to tell him he can come stay here until he leaves but I can't do that. We don't trust him and I cant take the risk that something might happen. We ARE allowing him to sleep here the night before he leaves. One night should be fine but I can't risk 5 nights. Plus we have to work this week and easy child has school and difficult child could never be left in this house alone. So even though I feel really bad and it kills me to say "sorry - figure it out" I do know that we are helping him a great deal already and I shouldn't feel so guilty. We are paying for him to go out to my dad, we are allowing him to spend a night here when we said NEVER again, and both husband and I are taking off of work to see him off. So yeah - 5 nights. So near yet soo far away all at the same time. Please keep sending positive vibes our way. I will be walking on eggshells until he's off and on his way. [/QUOTE]
