[QUOTE="D.Chipps, post: 737644, member: 23280"] Just stumbled upon this forum, decided to sign up and make my first post. My daughter who is 18 with a baby, diagnosed with conduct disorder at 14 is currently homeless (as of 2 days ago), she is on a wait list for a teen homeless shelter in our area. She will not come home and has burnt many bridges with other who have tried to help. Currently my granddaughter is being cared for by her father, myself and my husband (long story). Anyway I just helped my daughter get her belongings from the last friend who tried to help her, her stuff is now sitting at my house. She stayed to visit with her daughter for a few hours. I asked what her plan was for the evening and she said she was talking to friends to see where she could crash for a night or 2. Asked if I could take her downtown as she missed the last bus that goes by our house. I obliged. I have never felt so empty or lost as I did dropping her off, knowing she has no clear plan, fearing she will not have a place to go. Yet i feel she needs to truly hit bottom before she can/ will get help. Will this get easier, having an adult child who legally can do as they wish and not being able to save them? [/QUOTE]
