Where does my 20 yr old son live now?
He finally showed up, disheveled and dirty from living on the streets. He never, to this day, explained where he went or why he took off. That was almost 2 years ago, when we realized the extent of his depression. He came home to live with me and his 10 yr old little brother (I’m a single mother).
