[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 693230, member: 20054"] Hi all. Copa-thank you for this as we are knee-deep in it. I have followed you and Lil and although my son is somewhat older, he has some similar characteristics. I so hope he learns from homelessness and it is not wasted pain for all of us. This was /is true for us also but our son is more than borderline hostile. He has never seen it himself. The lack of ability to correlate the drugs with consequences always shocks me anew. We all need to learn mechanisms for coping. Appropriate, healthy ones. Our son's self-esteem has always been higher when he had a job or purpose but he doesn't see it. He just doesn't. So, he is homeless. Once at alanon a woman asked me where does your son live? Is he in our town? I cry now to write this as I remember telling her "I don't know, homeless, maybe under a bridge?" It remains so hard to say or think about. Our boundaries are intact and that feels right but the profound sadness runs as an undercurrent and sneaks in at the most unusual times. I think often of you- Lil and Copa-so "in this" right now. May your sons "get it". Prayers. [/QUOTE]
