Yeah he's definitely not "there" yet. I just talked to him. He has an excuse for everything. Every suggestion I give him - try calling the OTA, MHA, talk to the social worker, go to the mission for shelter, etc is met with an excuse as to why those suggestions won't work. The OTA doesn't answer the phone, MHA won't help, the social worker has no suggestions, the rules of the mission are too strict and it's run by a bunch of drunks who use god as a cover. It truly is like talking to a brick wall. It so frustrating because he isn't even willing to try.
Earlier he made a comment that living on the streets is good most days. He confirmed that he's "friends with the whole homeless community". He said he has fun most days but some days are horrible and those are the days he wants to die.
So he'll most likely be released Thursday and go right back to the streets. Time to go say the serenity prayer.
