I learned yesterday my a/a daughter's 28y.o. son with his own a/a issues is homeless because she asked him to leave her house.  I've been feeling anxious and fearful he would call me for help.  Sure enough he did this morning, I told him "no" when he asked what I was doing and if  he couldn't come over to eat and hang out.  I reminded him he told me it took to much time for him to catch the bus and go to apply for food stamps.

I just found a brochu of a clean and sober living home that I made a donation to, I'll give him this # and after that I don't plan to take his phone calls.  I'm done, and pray to keep this attitude about it.

Gettingitright!!

I'm sorry but I'm sure this is the best steps for you and your family. They have to come to grips with their addictions.

Prayers for you that you will remain strong. I might be doing this soon myself and I'm scared myself.

Take care
Cathy
