I guess I should 'fess up. Today I was in the process of watching him pack and Ward suggested that maybe this is not the way to handle it.
I asked the Beav what he was willing to do to not get booted. We arrived at meetings every night in addition to IOP, a job...ANY job asap, he said he would turn most of his money over to get him a place of his own and I told him if one thing happens there will be no notice. So call me a wuss.
And Ward promised to be honest with me.
I feel strong enough to do this. I know I am strong enough.
It has been 8 years since he has lived with us. I have made my point. He has been homeless, in and out of jail and living in shelters without us lifting a finger. We love him and want to give him this one more chance. Our choice.
As Dr Phil would say "How's this workin' for you?" Just fine thank-you. At least for today.
This is when I am so fond of saying there are no right or wrong answers. Even if it all blows up in my face, it is still not wrong. Learn and go on.
Hugs and Happy New Year...and Hangin, Ya'll have a good one too!
