[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 764291, member: 13558"] My son was drifting around homeless for about 5 years. He and substance abusing girlfriend moved to Denver, CO because the pot had been legalized. They had drunken brawls and one or the other would be arrested. I did not know he had moved back closer to me for several years. I'm also in the SE. They were on again off again constantly. Staying with her mother, fighting, arrests, then he was living on the streets. girlfriend and her mother put my son's computer, clothes, all personal things out in the rain. They were all stolen. The girlfriend started harassing me over the phone, calling 2am, 3am. I had met the woman one time, she wanted money and was always very drunk/drugged. I finally had to call the police and I called her mother (mother worked at the police dept and the police gave me the call number) and said I would press charges. This did stop her from calling me. The woman posted nasty name calling on FB about me and my daughter. She committed suicide. Her mother told police my son had a suicide pact with her daughter. I was so afraid it was true. Crazy, but this relationship lasted 10 years. Then, he met another woman living on the streets with 3 children. Hubby and I helped them. It's always money, money, more money. We did it for the kids. They recently seperated and he has admitted himself to a psychiatric ward 3 times in about 6 weeks. Now, he has met an ex addict this month, she is the 'one'. She is unemployed and his work has slowed tremendously. He's looking for work and it's still money, money, gimme money. I'm exhausted. I think it was easier when I wasn't hearing from him. I'm also very stressed. I know there are food banks, shelters. It's still so very hard. I meditate about twice a day and stay as busy as I can. There is absolutely nothing you can do. Chamomile tea also helps. I hope you can find peace. We have to let them live their lives, there's nothing we can say or do to stop or change them. Try to detach, it's so very hard. I've had 3 surgeries and have become too old for his addictions and drama. [/QUOTE]
