[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 748891, member: 23706"] Homelessness has been such a fear I had and my husband too that we didnt allow it. We paid for Kay's housing or assisted her and Lee, but as soon as we made part of the cost their responsibilities, they didnt pay their share. This was with us paying half or more. We never let our girl and family live homeless. Today we are too tapped out to help them so they ask Lee's parents, who pay but are thinking of stopping. I know that if they become homeless, I have to allow it. A family member will house the child, but nobody wants either adult. My daughter has undiagnosed mental illness and is a chronic pot smoker who has done hard drugs and has not been totally sober for twenty years if you include pot. I suspect bipolar or borderline or both. She has no survival skills. Neither does Lee. So if I think about this very real scenario, my heart flips in panic. I so feel for the parents of homeless kids. I am pretty certain to join you one day. And just the thought terrifies me. I can only imagine the reality. Kay often says she would like to live in a state that is totally pot friendly so if homeless I can see her and Lee going to such a state, leaving family far far away in case of emergency. Prayers sent. [/QUOTE]
