[QUOTE="Beta, post: 755921, member: 22597"] JayPee, First, to your questions--at the moment, he is at home alone as my husband left for work just a bit ago. We have put away any financial stuff he might try to find and use. I too hope my home and belongings will be safe. He does carry a huge amount of anger and bitterness. This morning I've had a few texts from him, basically scorning the few attempts I've made to try to show love and to make him feel welcome. He seems incapable of even seeing, acknowledging, or responding to acts of love toward him. It hurts but I'm trying to remember that he is sick, dysfunctional person. I promise you, though, that my husband and I will not allow abuse from him. His hostile, angry behavior is puzzling to me. I did not reach out to HIM; he reached out to ME on Tuesday with a text message, saying he needed a place to stay and could he come here. He was literally living in a park in Denver. No one kidnapped him and forced him to come here to our home, so I'm puzzled as to why he is acting rude and hostile. He told my husband on the way home from the airport last night that he had never thought about suicide until he was on his way here (presumably because he was not wanting to really be here) It seems to defy logic since if it doesn't work out with staying with us, where will he go and what will he do? It seems that he would try to make this work, if only to try to be in a better position to return to Denver in the future. . Yes, I believe that God often uses prayer to change our desires to be in line with His will. I have no idea what His purpose in allowing this situation to develop is. Is Josh here because God can use this to work in him better? Or is he here because God wants to show us (me especially) that there truly is NO MORE we can do for Josh? I don't know yet what the answer is. I'm clinging to hope and reaching out blindly in this darkness. We need wisdom here, that's for sure. Thank you for your concern--I'm not taking the potential for danger lightly or disregarding the possibility that he is so changed that he is not a safe person to be around. [/QUOTE]
