[QUOTE="Lil, post: 700906, member: 17309"] Oh, I'm okay. I was pretty upset until I realized where his money likely went. I said that I wasn't going to call him or text. I haven't really stuck to that. Wednesday he'd told me that he'd been offered a couch in the first city he was in and I did text to see how that went. Turned out it would be a few days before anyone could get him and take him back there. So yesterday I just texted, "You alive?" His response some time later was that they couldn't come until Sunday (today) and then he'd have a couch while he was looking for work and if that didn't work out it was "pretty bada$$ being homeless <where he is>, as lame as that sounds, and that I've gotten lots of warm stuff and met some cool people. So yes, I'm alive." I responded that was all I needed to hear. So...yeah. He's apparently quite happy being homeless and he's fine. I don't actually know how to feel about that. He's happy. I always said all I wanted was for him to be happy. I've decided that isn't true. What I wanted was him to be happy living a somewhat conventional life. Or at least, if unconventional, then socially acceptable? I wonder what that says about me? But, at least I'm not unduly worried or distressed at the moment. I'm still wondering how long that will last. [/QUOTE]
