He is one step away from homelessness - unless one of us takes him in again. Trouble is he robs us blind.
Believe it or not, there are worse places than jail. And WE are not their only option, never were never will be. My son is an addict who also stole so much that he can no longer live at home and who has been missing for over 3 years.

We can't control how they are, only they can do that, but we can let them suffer the consequences of their actions. And we can control our own homes and having an active addict live there is just bringing the disease into our "safe" place where we all get to suffer the chaos.

I know this is a hard decision you and your family will have to make. Whatever your choice, I hope you each protect yourselves and your homes and stop making them a soft place for him to land.

I'm glad you joined us and hope you will stick around.

Hugs
