Honestly.... the only thing I've learned is that if he asks to come back to job-hunt (as he's said that he might after he gets his GED) I will be saying no to him. I already LET him come here to job-hunt. I'm not putting myself through the exact same thing twice!

Aside from things specific to him, I haven't learned anything at all. I knew it was going to be really stressful.... but I wanted to help. I don't consider it a mistake. If someone else was to ask me the same thing, I'd agree to it... I'd just probably tell them about this horrendous experience and demand honesty from them.

And I would probably make sure to wash my bedding before they arrived and tell them we're rotating between who is on the couch - cause then at least I could have proper use of my kitchen. haha.
