Could be a partner, roommate, coworker, or somebody you volunteered with. They could have stopped for any reason from leaving, getting sick or hurt or even dying to just getting sick of doing that one thing and stopping.

Oh hell no. My partner and I are in no way interested in just kicking anyone out. The reason we're trying to work on the attitudes and trajectory now is to have time to set goals and work together to build up his skills & resources to enable independence, which is a far cry from a kick out.

I'm sorry to hear that I happened to you even once. We've had some friends of our kids end up being treated that way, so the kids ended up at our place briefly while they found their feet.
