[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 643397, member: 1550"] I wish I had good advice. My son lives near St. Louis and I think Missouri is insufferably HOT...lol. I went there in the summer once and could barely tolerate watching my grandson playing soccer. My son tells me it rarely snows in Missouri. Can't be that cold. Nothing that a winter coat wouldn't take care of. Never heard of anyone freezing to death in MIssouri, although I guess it could happen. But it's not a really cold state. I heard it's 50 degrees there today (ahhhhh, summer!) and it's 10 degress here and that's after it "warmed" up. The weather and Missouri just did strike me as a bit funny as if it's 50 degrees I don't even wear a coat, just a sweatshirt. I don't know what you should do, honest. I don't know what you can stomach doing. I think that you and Jab have come a long way. I do think your kid plays you a lot, but I also think you know that. I have no answers, but I do take this seriously. It has to be hard to watch him floundering like this. And he COULD have a mild form of Aspergers. I asked about that because that can seriously impede your common sense and decision making skills. My son was adopted out of a very bad neighborhood in Chidago. If he had grown up there, he is so naive and vulnerable I'm sure he'd be running drugs for gangbangers. He would do it to please. Aspies tend to be very emotionally young with young interests and extremely naive about life. I always tell Sonic to stay in at night. Even here in a small area without a lot of crime, I shudder to think of him on the streets at night. He would NOT be hard to rob.
