I am concerned about my son's well being, both physically and emotionally. He moved with his girlfriend and her daughter to Marietta, GA(where her family lives) in hopes to find a job (We live in the 2nd highest unemployment area in the country). I gave him my old car, they loaded it up with what little they had. Now he is not having any better luck there than he did here. Plus to add to an already stressful situation, the transmission went out in the car so he has no transportation. He does not have his high school diploma/GED. And he does not have the money to get it. He has an AZ license, but most of the places he's applied want him to have a GA license. I cannot help him anymore, since I am the one that paid for them to go there (and it put me in a tight situation).

He is also concerned that his girlfriend's mom is going to kick him out (personality conflicts, my son is quiet/shy, they are more socialable and don't understand why he doesn't participate in conversations with them and prefers to read rather than sit and do nothing with them). If this happens, he doesn't even have the car to live in, since it's inoperable at this time.

Are there any programs available to him and/or to them as a couple? (the stress is obviously affecting their relationship) He'd replace that transmission himself, if he had the means to buy a replacement and if he still had all his tools.

He has a goal of getting his GED, getting his electicians certification (or whatever) and doing that. But he can't do that if he's living on the street which i think is in his future. I don't know of shelters or soup kitchens i can direct him to, because I have never been to the area. If he is kicked out of his girlfriend's house, he will of course let her keep the food stamp card that they got while here in AZ.

He is a very hard worker. He grew up doing construction along side his dad. (concrete and building houses) He also is very mechanical. He has rebuilt several engines and even has the car that is in his possession running half off hydrogen and half off gas (before the transmission went out).
