Feel a bit better in Bittersweet

I had B come over for dinner. Safeway had steaks on sale so we got some of those and BBQed. He seems to be in better spirits and a bit more animated today then he did. Im really hopeful that telling him he can come home in 2 weeks really helped him feel like the weight is off him. We wont be able to stop the eviction from going on his record. But we can at least give him a safe place to go.
He seemed a bit lighter, a bit happier. At 20 he shouldent be feeling THIS downtrodden in life. He should be lighter and happier. I get the rush of independence, But he needs to take the helping hand that he is offered so that he can have a better start.
Im just REALLY hoping this is happier is real and not a bubble about to burst on us.
