He made a big mistake...

One thing I learned in America is that the homeless people are homeless for reason, and most of them got there on their own actions.

Change the locks on your doors! You did try but you are so correct. A person only changes when they Want to change.

You did the right thing in trying to help him and you did the right thing by telling him to leave. You cannot change someone else, they have to want to change and change themselves from the inside out. I would not have let him continue there either. I just would worry that he would get mad and come back and try to do something to you guys. Please be watchful.

If that is where he has to go maybe he'll straighten up and clean up to keep his job and find himself another place to live. Some people can't break habits that well. I do hope that he can break his, and especially the pain med thing!

You gave him a chance and he blew it. You did what you could and you were kind in doing that. I don't blame your husband for kicking him out as he truly deserved that. I wouldn't want that kind of person in my house as well. Yeah sometimes no matter what we do to help others change, it seems to be futile when they themselves don't want to.

I'm glad you got this person out of your house! what a rude and horrible person to do something like that when you were trying to help him!

He deserves what he gets if that's the way he wants to act. I don't blame you one bit! You are right....you can't change anyone unless they want to change themselves.

Well my opinion is you tried to help this guy and he was not appreciative enough to move forward. So you did the right thing in kicking him out, especially when you have children living there too. I just hope this doesn't prevent you from trying to help another, because there are homeless out there who just need a break so they can move on.

Hello LMB, with what's happening to the world now, more poor are on the rise, it's rare to have a homeless that has a capacity to change, but old habits never die. it was such a good thing at first that your hubby was trying to be kind to a fellow man but unfortunately, this had happened and they are abusing your kindness. at least you learned a lesson for taking strangers into the house

Money does do strange things to people, doesn't? Lack of it spurs the effort to make it, plenty of it gets one to splurge on nonsense. You did good when you took him in, now it looks like you did him good when you kicked him out. Being out again on streets may sober him up real fast. Let us hope he will then have enough sense to behave as expected. As I said before, you never expected anything from him when you took him in, let the memories stop there.

hi there loving, I know it is bad that I also wish he would leave yet I am grateful that finally your family is free of his presence that is not only annoying but also full of ungratefulness. God Bless your whole family and always take care

hi there, i haven't seen your first discussion about this yet. but reading this made me worry of your safety in the house. so what happens now? is he out of the house already? i hope he is because you can never tell how they are going to act again. it is a shame to be acting like that at other people's home, especially when they are taking you in because they want to help you.

That is rude. All I can say is good for you because you tried. You are indeed good people. The rest depends on what he chooses. He has to find his own way.

You shouldnt take people you dont know in your house, these are hard times all the world is going through, people are more agressive, more selfish, more evil, people dont ever change This person is homeless for a reason that got him there by his own actions and that is for sure, if he wanted to change he'd try at least to show some appreciation to your kindness for taking him in and helped him, and not taking advantage of the situation to continue to be such rude as you said, first of all and most important this person is a sick person, an addict to drinking so he will propably never feel appreciation for your goodness because alcool will never let him appreciate anything in his life, you already gave him motivation but I think he needs something more that even you and your kindness cannot provide for him. so you did right to let him go If you want to help some homeless, give them food, buy them food, clothes and sent them, but your home do not share with anyone you dont know especially if you have small children, dont trust anyone stranger near your children, you can help other ways, I know I may sound selfish and racist or something like that, but I am not, I help other people my own way that I dont feel threatened, I dont invite them to my home

hi lovingmybabies oh my thats horrible that he did that after you guys took him in and were so good to hime,to treat you like that. that is plain disgusting and wanting to sell pain pills to your husband. this you just do not need and especially not around your children.your hearts were in the right place but this jerk's was not. good your husband kicked him out.I would have been angry too believe me.Good for your husband as that the last straw for you.

At least now both of you have come to know what sort of a person he really is.He has revealed his true colors.Its good that you got rid of him.There is only one thing that worries me. Now that he has gone he may try to take revenge on you by targettig your children.I have known such things to happen in my country frequently where someone has kidnapped and even killed somebody`s children in order to take revenge for something done to that person.God forbid anything like that to happen to you people.I pray to God nothing like that happens to you`all.

People should act better when staying in someones home. He is so selfish and self absorbed it is horrible. Drunks are such fun anyway. NOT!! I am sorry to hear you had to put up with that. Glad he left without too much of a disturbance.

thats really horrible
