If you can trust him then yes. If you have a smidgen of doubt then no. Is it wise to bring a alcoholic thief around your children? And if he is homeless and has no job, he must be doing something to get that money. Would you be comfortable with that happening under your roof? Being a good friend can only take you so far and if he proven that he has done nothing to help his self, and been 'bounced around' by other friends then he obviously is doing something unsavory to warrent such actions by his own friends. At the end of the day you and your children are your responsibility.

It is admirable that you want to help your friend but frankly the answer is NO! Your friend would do to you as he did to his own family....sit around and wait for a job that isn't coming, eat your food, drink your booze and yes, steal from you too.
He has to want to clean up his act and you can't help him by enabling him to continue his dead end ways. Get on with your life but continue to urge him to get help and clean up his act. You cannot make him do something he is not willing to do on his own.

Take him in but give him an ultimatum. Find a job in 3 months or you will be kicked out. Tell him to go to AA and to perhaps visit a therapist. If he agrees then take him in but if he fails to meet these commitments then you can throw him out.

His own mother moved away from him. Does that tell you something?
DO NOT let him into your house. You will be the sorry one, and he'll have another free ride. Don't enable his problems.

Don't take on any more than you, yourself, in reality know you can handle.
You're family and children should come first.
