[QUOTE="mumfromdownunder, post: 718090, member: 21819"] It is hard to make sense of anything they do. My son has had a taste of a shelter - for 1 week around the time of his 18th birthday (he blames me because he didn't have a party??). He managed to find a job as an apprentice plumber and was put up in his bosses home (a great opportunity to put his life on the right track) . This did not last long as he found a worse crowd to hang around with and with the money he was making, he just spent it on dope. Of course it was not "his fault" (it never is), when he was fired from that job either. You are right, shelters do have rules (which Difficult Child's do not like living with). I am sorry you are going through this - I thought that my sons 18th Birthday would have gone differently too but unfortunately not. I am however, hoping his 21st Birthday will be a turning point and things will change by then - there is always hope hey!! [/QUOTE]
