Janet, I was just reading back posts and see that Ricky is moving soon. Gosh, I remember when Jessie moved to her own apaartment. It was actually nice, but I have never seen anyone live in such a mess! Half of her bed was filled with clean laundry that had never been put away. Then, clean clothes would end up in there, and she would forever be doing pounds of laundry. I doubt if she ever washed the dishes. She probably threw them away when the sink got full, and bought paper plate.
Thank goodness she learned how to keep house! She would have lost the children somewhere in the laundry if she kept her house like she kept that apartment.
She did move back home for a while, and then met and moved in with Steve. I left her room as is for a full year just in case she came back again. Just as I was getting off the step ladder I was using to clean the shelves off, the phone rang. "I'm moving back home, Mom! I can't stand Steve!" She did not come back home, but I laughed at that for a long time!
Don't worry about Ricky's living conditions too much. It is his problem, and he will figure it out. You raised him well, and you just have to have faith in him. I found prayer helped a lot too!
It all works itself out!
