[QUOTE="Lil, post: 742902, member: 17309"] Copa I've been off for several days and caught up only by reading just your posts here. I'm worn out just reading all you've got through in just a few days! I thought the therapist idea was so positive, as was his response to it...then another excuse. What else can you do here? You've tried, and tried, and tried to meet with him and make plans and he never follows through. You've opened the door, he has to step through. I think "Fine, you make the plans. I'm done." is an appropriate response. I think he likes it too. Copa, from everything I've read that you've written, it doesn't sound like J is unhappy with his current situation. He is actively choosing homelessness. I don't know why and I'm sure you don't understand it. But this is his choice. If he wanted to come home...he'd do it. You've made it perfectly clear you're willing to work with him. He isn't willing to work with you at this time. He may say he's miserable. I don't think he is. I think this is his way of stringing you along. [I]Oh, Mom! I'm miserable! I'm dirty! I keep losing my tickets, my card, my money, my phone, etc., etc. BUT, I'm not miserable enough to take you up on your kind offer yet...so I'm going to keep reminding you how awful my life is so you'll keep the door open in case I change my mind.[/I] You need a spa day. :hugs: [/QUOTE]
