[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 716856, member: 13303"] Not allowing his behavior to continue in your home is a limit, and it's one many parents are never able to set not even here. It is more difficult to die than we worried parents realize. It is far more likely that your son will find a way to survive and he will either decide he likes that street life and continue it, or that he wants better/more for himself. There are people who live many years on the streets, they do not die. Yes they are homeless. No you do not want that for your child. But you don't get a choice and neither do I, it is THEIR life and THEY get to decide. All we can do is get out of their way. I don't mean to minimize your pain, but what you did is very brave and not something many of us can muster the courage to actually pull off. [/QUOTE]
