I get a text message from Scumbag towards the end of the day yesterday. Would it be OK if I stored some of my stuff in your basement? I don't want to worry about things getting stolen as I couch surf and sleep in my car.
He is not moving in with the boyfriend. I'm thinking the boyfriend just isn't ready for that. The job fell through (and no, it wasn't his fault, the friend reneged on the offer). He has to be out of the place he's at the end of this month, which is very soon. He's still recuperating from the nasty throat thing.
We're supposed to get together tonight to "talk about his options". Basically if he's going to have all his stuff here he may as well be here too for awhile. I don't know yet if he has any other plans, but he may surprise me. It's going to be up to him. He claims he doesn't want to live here because he doesn't want to risk burning any bridges with us. I cannot let him sleep in his car.
We haven't told him yet he can stay here, and I'm not sure what his answer will be. Our plan is to take it month by month if he says yes. Jeckyll and I talked about it a bit last night. My plan is to encourage him to get a job and find a place of his own as soon as he can. I don't think he really knows how to do those things, I don't think he ever has done those things on his own.
Stay tuned. Life could get very interesting very quick around here.

I don't think enabling ever turns out well. Not trying to be a downer. Your life has been going well with just you and Jekyll. SB is an adult. He needs to find his own way.
