Am I steering my own, true course or heading for the rocks?

[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 742908, member: 18958"] I am not believing him about the lost/broken phones, the lost cards, etc. He gets confused and he forgets to be consistent about what's broken/lost. So. I agree. This is really focusing my mind. What matters most is his health. I want him alive. If I knew he was medication compliant I could relax a bit. But the thing is this: if you are homeless how do you keep medication safe. If it is still under patent, a bottle costs $1000 or so. That would not concern me, the money. He gets the medication under a waiver. But there is a rebound effect if he stops. The virus redoubles in strength. He does not get the concept. He is not reliable in how he takes the medication, unless he has structure. He does not have structure. If he had a person he could go to every day to get the pill, he could do it. But I don't know who or how he could do this. So I am at a complete loss how I help his health, short of letting him come home, without conditions. And if I do that, how am I really helping him? I have made this about me. And I would have decided that my own story is the important one and not his own. This seems to be the wrong answer. No matter how painful is the idea that he will get ill and die. [/QUOTE]
