[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 675339, member: 18958"] I think you made the right choice. I would have done the same thing. In fact, I did. They pushed me too far, and I yanked my son out. I think you are getting somewhere now: identify one or two options that you feel are his best shot, with supervision and conditions. I pushed my son to go to another training, after Job Corps. He worked over a year. But his attitudes and depressed mood, finally undermined that. Since that time he has been a couch potato and homeless. Going from place to place. Once he got the SSI, he had no real need to do anything constructive. With nothing constructive to do, he got worse. Work is the key, I think. As long as it comes from your steam and not from his, the gains are vulnerable. I learned that after years. My son has got to want it. Yours too. The fact that your son was dealing drugs, while working, would frighten me. What did he need all that money for? COPA [/QUOTE]
