[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 756509, member: 18958"] Hi KTMom. I am glad everybody's healthy. And I'm glad your kids are doing well. My son is in a sober living home. I'm worried: What if he comes down with Coronavirus? What happens in a treatment setting where people who are vulnerable are packed in like sardines? What do I do, then? Would the sober living home which is run by a religious organization take responsibility for my son, or would I? I'm old. 70. I'm self-isolating because I feel at risk. My son is disorganized and minimally responsible. He would NOT adhere to necessary hygiene practices to keep me safe. I'm anticipating a problem that g-d willing will not happen. But what would I do? I can't imagine that I would not want to take care of my son, but if the truth be told, I would not welcome it. It would be like stepping in front of a bullet. That's what it feels like. After all I have been through with him, I'm confused. In past years I would have without a thought taken him in. What kind of horrible mother wouldn't (hypothetically) want to take care of a child? I feel like a monster. I am staying at home. Shopping has been a trip! Virtually, not physically. Except for once last week, when M went to the 99 cent store and bought bags and bags of produce, I've been getting groceries delivered. (I miss Costco so much!) It's stressful because the delivery guy does not seem to "get" the social distancing concept. But I'm grateful for the service. [/QUOTE]
