Gosh, some of you dear people have been through so much. my heart hurts to hear it. but, you learned how to live.
I believe my son would choose to live in his car, till cops take him or it away, than to go to a rehab. he did stay at the homeless shelter for a month, when my sis and i took him. it was a pretty awful place, but it was a bed and two meals a day. he was beginning to sound like he knew that his choices had caused his situation. but he went right back to denial, as soon as someone rescued him.
i believe my son feels powerless. this runs in the family, obviously.
thanks kids. you are helping. what would we do without each other?
