Answer 2

Hi Angelpie4...,

I'm sorry to hear about your dad being homeless. Is he a Veteran? Has he ever served in the military? Try to talk him into seeking help from them. Either way your dad has had some hard times that has caused him to think he can't make it in society. Nobody grows up and says I want to live on the streets. Something has happend in his life that he has given up on. The key to bringing him back "getting him off the streets" is to find out what drove him there. There are numberous shelters out there for the homeless. If you know where he is I would bring him food on a daily basis if you can. I would also bring him something to keep him warm.

Giving him your support, love and affection will bring him back. I know this is a touching subjuct and I am more than willing to offer you any advice or support you may need. My dad never lived on the streets but I felt like he was when I was growing up.
I am not a professional but have had a lot happen in my life and offer my help to anyone who is interested. If your interested in having someone to talk with feel free to e-mail me at [e-mail]

Sincerely, Buster

You show him respect for his part in giving you life, and you offer him a place to live until he can get on his feet. If he was abusive or has some serious issues, then you might not want to do that. If you can't offer him a place to stay, then you do what you can to try to help him somehow. You would not be alive, were it not for his part in your conception. If you can help him while keeping his dignity intact, it would be the kind and loving thing to do.

P.S. - If you are a kid, and not an adult, then disregard the above advice. Talk to your mother about it and respect her decisions regarding that. If you don't like what she says, then talk to a school counselor or other neutral person, so that you can have someone to vent to.

Answer 4

First of all you need to find out if he want to help his-self first then find out what drove him to be in the predicament hes in.Then try to get him in a program to get him on track, after a few months if you see the he has potentials to keep up being off the streets set a goal for him.Ex. In a month I would like to be stable, have a job ( something that would not drive him back in the streets).In 3 months I would like to get to hang out more with you and gain back a family with everyone. AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

Answer 5

Do you want to be close with him? If yes, then talk to him and help him out a little. Give him some money(if you can spare some), and see if he uses it to start himself in a positive direction. If he uses it for bad reasons, then stop. He's an adult and he has to take responsibility for his actions, but at least direct him to a homeless shelter.

Answer 6

Answer 10
