[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 607869"] I think it is a good thing that your son got the food stamp application on his own. Better this than harass you, beg, starve or steal. I know it is hard, but generally speaking, family members don't usually "get" what we are going through and they too are frightened. So, instead of comforting or lending an ear, they argue with you or accuse you of doing everything wrong, etc. just let it go in one ear and out the other. Sounds like he might also look for a job soon. Perhaps you did some enabling before...hard to say. But it doesn't seem like you are doing it now. He, like many young men, seem to need to learn life's lessons first hand. Surely you miss what might have been, what should have been, ideally. who knows what the future holds...likely good, even great things. Patience. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
