[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 742910, member: 1550"] Copa I am so very very sorry. I tend to be drawn to true story or memoir books about people in difficult social and family situations. I sure wish I coulld remember the name of this book I read a few years ago about a homeless young man. He wrote it himself. He had been tossed out of his house and I forget why. Drugs? I just dont remember but I think he was living with an uncle or aunt. He had a sister who kept begging him to come live with her, a sister he was on very good terms with. He wouldnt go. He did nor consider his street life bad. He liked his group of friends and spoke wistfully of even times when he got into trouble. Dang I wish I could remember the books name! Maybe it could help you understand. After a year on the street, this young man finally decided it was time to go live with his sister and the book ended there. Never found out if he stayed there and grew up. I read it.in a few hours. It fascinated me. That he had fun. How resourceful he was about making friends, eating, sleeping, keeping warm. After reading that book I figured some people like street life. You are under no pressure to do anything other than party and take care of your needs. Oh. Drugs were also a big part of the story. I have also seen several youtubes about people who live on a dime.... (maybe social security only) and choose to live in deserts off the grid in everything from cars to vans to RVs in little communities. Some even chose slab city. I find this fascinating. Not everyone wants a traditional hearth and home. Some cant afford one so they find alternative lifestyles. To me, anything but hearth and home is incomprehensible....but, hey, we are all different. So Copa I I believe J may like the streets. For now. It offers no responsibility and people who accept you. But remember that the boy in the book eventually did go live with his sister. I do think it can wear thin. J will want a better life, I believe. I have hope. And I pray for you both with all my heart.What he thinks is okay now can change. Change is the human condition. There is always change...good or bad. Meanwhile keep doing your life. You will hear from him again. He will never forget you, his Mother. Hugs and more hugs. [/QUOTE]
