[QUOTE="Dallas, post: 749840, member: 19973"] I havent posted in awhile. Things are getting better, my AS (37yrs old going on 20) has been in jail since end of April. We have spoken on the phone, and it has been nice I have to say. I am angry for all he has done, but I love my son. He may get out in Aug. for time served, he violated a stay away order from his ex. I had told him he cannot move back home, he knows this, but he has no phone, clothes, car, money, he has nothing. How is he supposed to get back into a program with no help? My husband and I have been in a discussion about this. Maybe have him stay for a week, he can make calls, find a shelter, etc. I do want to support him and at least give him the tools to start this again. I have not told my son this and wont until we pick him up from jail, if he gets out. We will be on vacation that week so he wont be in our house unless we are there. I know you cannot give advice but I am having a hard time thinking of just dropping him off near a shelter, which may not even have a bed available and then what? He cannot call anyone, can not google the program he wants to get into, he cant do anything to get where he needs to be. Maybe Im talking myself into this being a good decision, I still dont want him living home, after a week, and if he still hasnt figured it out, I can sleep at night knowing that I gave him support to get the help he needs and no guilt when we drop himm off at a shelter and he figures it out without my help. Thank you for being here for me. [/QUOTE]
