[QUOTE="mdean61, post: 555929, member: 15329"] It's been over a week and the first contact from him was a text asking me if I wanted to go shopping with he and the girlfriend. No apology, no trying to discuss currents. Told him we would need to talk about the current issues first. Of course no reply back. The girlfriend lives with her mom, 10yr old brother, and her grandparents who are the main supporters. The mom is 35- had the girlfriend of my son when she was 17. She is bipolar and not on medications. She called me last week to find out the actual reason our son was told to leave. True to his nature, he only said it was over the ticket issue and no mention of the drug use. I did give her the facts and also sent a text to the grandmother with the same. Not sure that was the best way to handle it but either way, no reply back from grandmother. Per the mother, my son did not attend his court mandated traffic school because it cost 280 and he didn't have it. But he had money to buy a smart phone 2 days earlier and obviously can afford drugs so it's all about what is the priority to him. Hope the smart phone comes in handy when he has to call someone from jail after he gets picked up for the bench warrant that will be issued as he hasn't attended the class. We have another 16yr old son who is no problem at all, does well in school, and seems very well adjusted despite all the chaos and turmoil his older brother has brought into the house. At this point, I actually dread the thought of my older son coming home. I am thinking his welcome at the girlfriend's house is becoming short lived but I have to admit I don't want him here. I know at 20, I don't have to have him back in our home but the mom part of me feels guilty letting him be homeless even though his actions have caused his own problems. [/QUOTE]
