[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 752289, member: 18516"] I'm so sorry for your heartache. My son has been a homeless wonderer for years. In the beginning it was really hard to accept but the reality it that I did everything I could to help him. It sounds like you have too. What more can you do? You have already taken in his three children to raise. It's a hard reality to accept but many like my son have made the choice to be homeless because they refuse to live a conventional type of life. My son refuses to hold down a job and would rather smoke pot and drink. I will never like it but there is nothing I can do to change him. What has worked for me is to really let go. I grieved as if he had died because in a sense, he has. The sweet little boy that he once was has been gone for a really long time. My son is 37 and I believe he will always be homeless. One thing I can tell you is that homeless people are really quite good at networking. They know how to find shelter and food. It's not an ideal life but for many it's of their own choosing. My son doesn't have to be homeless, he chooses to be homeless. Come out of the FOG - Fear Obligation Guilt Keep reading the posts on this site from very wise and weathered parents. ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
