[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 665547, member: 17635"] JKF, Sending the BK gift card was quite generous! and if he gets hungry enough, he will walk that mile. Does not surprise me at all that he voiced a preference for another restaurant. My difficult child would so do that. Ugh My difficult child did something very similar this week. Not as many miles, but he came to our town where he has no friends. He hoped somebody (although he has alienated every friend he had here because he has used them time and time again) would give him money (and my mom just might do that, though she says she will not). Get this. He is desperate for bus fare back to the town from whence he came two days ago. husband and I cannot wrap our heads around his thinking. Thank goodness! If we understood it...well, that might be unsettling. These difficult child's do that! They just take off, with no plan, and think somebody will step up and give them $$, even if they have used and re-used their past connections. Though, to be honest, I have sometimes wished our difficult child would just take off to Denver or San Francisco or someplace very liberal and make a fresh start. I do not see that happening because our difficult child does not see a shelter as an option at this point. He "deserves" better. I so understand and I am so sorry. You sent a $25 gift card, which in my opinion, again, is a major sign of love without enabling. It is never enough for Difficult Child's, is it? Hope you are relaxing and enjoying this short life we are given. We are given a limited # of days and it is up to us to make the most of those. husband and I have hung a flannel sheet over the bamboo blinds the last two nights. Just in case he decides to surprise us. What a way to live. We know what we know and we do what we can do that makes sense. Stay close and thinking about you tonight, SS [/QUOTE]
