my brother is in the process of moving. he's gotten most everything out of here, and is at our storage building getting his furniture and other stuff.

he asked my son to help him move. nigel said yeah, he'd do it if his uncle would let him crash at his place for a few nights now and then. to which my brother replied "no".

that's gratitude, huh???

i personally don't have an opinion on this topic since i am of the opinion that everyone is responsible for themselves. still, my bro did stay here over 3 months, 2 of which he wasn't working and could have been, so his point that my son is doing the same kind of falls on deaf ears to me.

pot, meet kettle. you're both black!!!

anyhoo, i asked my son what he was going to do with himself since he has no place to live. he told me laughing that he really wasn't worried about it. that he'd go somewhere to get warm if he was cold and steal food if he got hungry enough.

great, good idea. at least in jail you'll get 3 hots and a cot. and free medical care.

well, not free, we'll still be paying for it in some fashion.

oh well. he's made his choice. he's gotta live with it.

so i'm letting go. i wondered where he slept last night, but he's proven that he can take care of himself...so far. so i'm really not worrying. yet.

it's a waste of energy, and a sort of emotional blackmail, to worry about someone who doesn't give a damn about anything or anyone.

there are homeless shelters he can go to if he really needs to, and if he really does steal and get caught, oh well...it's been his decision to not work and drop out of school. he's had the same opportunities as every one else.

do i sound like i don't care??? i do, but what good does it do me?

do i sound like a complete detached bitch??? maybe so, but everyone has to decide how they're going to live their own life. he's almost 21 years old, and every chance he's been given he's squandered. he's had extension upon extension for getting a job and sticking with it.

thanks for being my friends, and my sounding board. i love ya'll and appreciate your concern and warm healing thoughts.
