[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 720359, member: 18958"] hi lil thank you for your response. my son is homeless. he is living in a car. sadly. i do not think it bothers him as much as it does me. or as much as it does his friend. i had a vivid horrible dream last night. he was camped out in a tent. you know those men who have been on the streets for years? grizzly. face wizened and red. dirty. in this image of my son in the dream he had a red oozing infection on the lower part of his face. like where a bandit would wear a mask. his tent was pitched in front of a house that was supposedly mine. when i entered it was trashed. there was a gas burner on. a dozen people were sleeping inside. all except one unknown to me. my son was groggy and unaware. he never woke up to be accountable. i think this pretty much sums up how i feel to be my situation. unfortunstely i am still locating the responsibility in me and the suffering in me, too. i guess. because i still feel us as one. honestly. i do see that i have a hand in this mix. i am trying to force my son to accept the commitment to trigger something in him to take responsibility. i am having to face that this too may not end well. i have told my son for a while i would help my son with a deposit for stable housing. part of me believes he should within reason decide the parameters. i have pretty much told him both that this is a lot of money but that he could make it work if he wants. his ssi would cover the rent and give him $200 left over. that is enough for food. if he wanted to he could work a couple days a week. he has proven capable of this and way more. the issue is commitment, responsibility and necessity. he stresses. this may be the deal breaker. and why it is a bad idea to pressure him. thank you everybody.
