[QUOTE="Lil, post: 692210, member: 17309"] About J. I don't think they kicked him out because of the way he is. I think he's the way he is because of them. When they were 16, his mom (who did not work and stayed with "friends" - the ones who introduced my son to pot) decided to move to Texas to live with her internet boyfriend. Or son and J asked for J to stay with us. The ONLY TIME I ever met the woman was when she came to our house to pick up the power of attorney for us to take care of her son. She spoke to me once by phone. Then there was a couple of texts when we decided he had to go. That's how much she cared about him. :( She left him with total strangers. The place she lived in was a pit, but it was free to her so I guess that was all that mattered. He slept in a wet basement there. At our house, at 16 years old, was the first time in his life he'd ever had a room to himself. In the end, we took him to his father and they didn't get along...never did apparently. Mom was supposed to have custody of all 3 kids, but she let dad have 2 of them and J stayed with her. He had that with his grandparents and his aunt...that was a nightmare. :( Well I don't think he'd ever do that; make us evict. The fact is, he wouldn't know he could and I'm a lawyer...he still seems to think I know what I'm doing there. But the "part of the house only" thing? He would still come eat the food - we work all day and he has the house to himself. I don't change his sheets - they're the ones he moved in on - I don't do his laundry. I (mostly) don't do his dishes and I don't cook for him unless I feel like it. Jabber and I cook and he either eats what we fix or fixes his own. Granted, we buy stuff he'd eat to keep around the house. I'm still at a loss. Jabber and I have a lot to talk about. We haven't yet. :( [/QUOTE]
