  "It is not insignificant that we refer to people as homeless rather than houseless."
                               -- Todd Thatcher Of Valley Behavioral Health

    As I reflect on what Todd says, I realize many of the homeless I have known have been people who burned their bridges with their families. They lost their spots in their homes because the families became frustrated in dealing with them.
   The family is the basic unit of society. It should not surprise us, then, that when the family breaks down, there are consequences. In this case, we end up with homelessness. If people did not burn their bridges with their families, few people would end up on the streets.
