My son is 23 and hasnt really lived at home since he was 16. He doesnt know where we live because he would be bashing on the door and i have two younger daughters and just cant risk that anymore. He isnt homeless at the moment and hasnt been since Feb but i fear he will be evicted which is my worst nightmare as the homeless periods are the worst. I have been dealing with this for so long, things got bad from 15 and its just got progressively worse as time has gone on. You see periods of hope but it always go back and i guess its when you see the periods of hope, you step back in. I worry more because of the Aspergers and other issues and know that dual diagnosis is the worst possible kind of addict. I am going to give him a file of all his paperwork that I have and leave it up to him but i know he wont deal with it, he never does. Its only in the last few weeks i have started to do some of it but it takes so long and exhausting dealing with him. I think i am going to revert to taking him a bag of basic food once a week, pay his phone which is now on a pay as you go as the contract phone kept getting stolen, sold or used by other people. My son has a social worker, probation, drug worker and support worker, aside the fact they are useless and I say this with huge amounts of experience with them, he does not engage with any of them so that gives them a good excuse not to do anything. Always feels like a catch 22. After being in ICU a couple of weeks ago i know his time is running out. He will end up back in there, 10ft under or in prison. Right now these seem like better options than where he is. Sad thing is he could have a nice flat, its in a good location but he doesnt care about anything. How old is your son?
