[QUOTE="JMom, post: 754528, member: 19892"] Beebz, I am said tent girl. I was nodding in agreement with your post, our stories are very similar. I actually wrote a book about the tent. My son actually lived on the streets 8 months and got sober on his own. It got worse before it got better. He said he got sober because I wouldn't allow him to see his sisters anymore. He has his own place and same job for 3 years. Hes 24. It may not happen for your son, but all things are possible. It got better when I gave it to God. The day I brought the tent, I let go. It was hard to enjoy comforts knowing he didn't have them. I learned a lot about today's generation of homeless kids. At night they go to game rooms and play slots (they call it pushing buttons). They are usually in a back room of convenience stores. They go to other 24 hour places to stay warm. They are very resourceful and resilient . They are not suffering one-tenth of what we are (were). They beg for money on the corner and get motel rooms to shower and spend the night sometimes and meet people to couch surf. They actually have friends and a life. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but if you take care of you, then you can stop the rushing around in the mind. I'm sending you love and hugs and prayers. You didn't cause this, you cant change it and can't control anything but yourself. I'll worry for you this week. You take some time off. I feel you, I love you and you can detach with love. The tents are $25 at Walmart! I wrote a book about said tent!
