[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 740493, member: 23349"] Copa I’m so sorry he’s keeping you on this roller coaster with his texts. Stay strong. He does have options. You’re not turning him away or abandoning him. He’s choosing not to accept your conditions. That’s on him, and it’s a free choice he’s making. SWOT has pointed out some great options, and you’ve sent him some places he can go or call. If he’s offering you $500 in rent, he could also find a room off Craigslist to rent if he doesn’t want to meet your conditions. Or go to one of the apartments he can get with his disability, even if he doesn’t care for the neighborhood. Like you said, it can’t be worse than the streets, right? The texts do sounds like drama and manipulation to me rather than serious threats. [I]Oh goodbye cruel world...look what you’ve brought me to! [/I]I’ve heard these kinds of threats many times. I actually worry more when they stop talking and stop asking for things and just seem full of quiet despair. Stay strong, and I hope M stays strong, too. J will have to make a choice and decide what he’s willing to do for himself and what compromises to his freedom/chosen living environment he’s willing to accept to get the stability and safety he wants. Don’t we all have to make those compromises? Most of us aren’t multimillionaires with unlimited resources and freedom to do what we want all day and live anywhere we want. Our kids need to learn.
