[QUOTE="JKF, post: 601178, member: 12470"] Thank you all so much! difficult child seems like he's in good spirits. He's totally manic though but he's happy manic right now which is so much better than crazy raging manic. He's at the motel which is a complete hole in the wall but at least he's not on the streets. My best friend, who has known difficult child since he was born, stopped by the motel to bring him some dinner before. She said the sight of him broke her heart. She's a social worker and works with young adults exactly like difficult child and she's usually very hardened to this kind of thing. She sees it everyday. But today it hit home. She said knowing that he's mentally ill and homeless is one thing but SEEING him in that state killed her. I'm going there in the morning to bring him some food and give him a little money to do laundry. I'm going to continue to offer love and support but I will not enable. I'm convinced now more than ever that if I continue to hold my ground and stay firm he will wind up better off in the long run. [/QUOTE]
