[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 667969, member: 1550"] Lil like all the other people we get advice from, she doesn't get it yet. She will, like Jabber's parents did. Let her try. When I volunteered in a homeless shelter, for the most part drug addicts or users came. I don't know what your son is or isn't doing to make him the way he is, but whatever it is, he is like most we serviced who had nowhere to go. If we could get anything out of them, which was rare (but sometimes they'd get so emotional, they HAD to talk), we would hear the same story. "I have nobody to stay with. I burned out all my family and friends." It seems that they try to live with kind-hearted people who care about them, but the people eventually can't handle their behaviors and tell them to leave, thus they ended up coming to our shelter once a week (we had a rotation with other churches. They had to go to a different one each night, but they really ate well!!!! Home cooked meals by kindly church ladies." And a sack lunch meal to take with them. I do not mean your son will end up this way. He still has so much time to change his path. But his behavior seems normal as far as those who end up homeless...he is trying everyone he knows by pulling on heartstrings. You can't control what his aunt does, so let it play out. She means well. She has been warned. Whatever happens, happens. Try not to worry about it. Your son will make the rounds and either straighten out his act or run out of people. It is up to him. He is being given many chances by those who love him. They want to try to help him. Let them do this. If it doesn't work out, they are adults and will show him the door. At least your son is not violent and won't hurt anybody. Hugs for your hurting heart. I am so, so sorry. [/QUOTE]
