[QUOTE="Lil, post: 694506, member: 17309"] Aw thank you! If you kept reading after this, you probably saw what we decided. He was given 3 choices, 1. Stay and find work and a number of other conditions. 2. IF he had a job by 7/5, we'd pay the $400. 3. There's the door. When he didn't have a job by 7/1 he took option 1 and, as it turned out, he got a job 7/4. But by then he'd decided that option 1 was best. No one has ever suggested he [I]shouldn't[/I] live alone, except him. He's the one who says he can't earn enough and that he'll be miserable without at least a roommate. But at the moment, that's all academic. Plusses: He LOVES his new job. Every day he says he loves it. Mostly because it's the easiest job he's ever had. He caught on very quickly and thinks the managers are pleased with him. He's getting 30+ hours per week, a gross of around $1,000 per month on a 4-week month, which is more than he's ever earned too. So far so good. And he's FINALLY made arrangements to start doing his community service. I haven't made any therapy appointments, because I don't want to push too hard and have him melt down and quit work or community service. Negatives: He is talking about trying to get back with the ex girlfriend and move to where she lives, which is more expensive, and her family hates him plus he'd be quitting yet another job unless he could transfer to the same chain store down there. :( He still moody and is still hanging out with his loser friends, although working mostly evenings to 9 will stop some of that, and he's meeting new people. His immediate manager there is only about 25 and as he says, "pretty cool". I remain cautiously optimistic. [/QUOTE]
