[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 705531, member: 19951"] When my son got gift cards from the churches, he sold them on the street and got the cash. Just FYI I'm sorry you are going through this- for us all, it's like a revolving door. Few days or weeks of peace, hoping they are making progress, then we get the call or text. Uggghh. Buying them survival items clothes, socks, sleeping bag, yes, he could return it all for cash. But that is his choice. Every day they make choices. If it were me, I'd let him stay and work it out. I would order online with Walmart have him pick up things there. He really needs to stay there and solve his life on his own. Coming home rescues him of the choices he made. If he comes home, I am afraid it will be wash, rinse, recycle. Would it be easier? You said he hates it in your town. What is the plan if you let him come home? How much stress would it be on you and Jabber to enforce the plan. He would be in your home with new set of issues and problems. What if he wants to leave again? I like the idea of signing up for military. I would purchase survival items, let him pick up at Walmart. What he does with them from there out, not your problem. These kids get food, gift cards from many places. Hec, there are even places that will purchase a one way bus ticket home for you(churches, charity organizations, etc). My son knew the days churches gave out gift cards and he bragged how he sold 100.00 worth in one day and got the cash. [/QUOTE]
