[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 684805, member: 15032"] TL - glad you found this forum. There is sound advice here. We had trouble with our son for five years, since he was 15. On and off drug use, failure to launch. We gave him an ultimatum to go to rehab or a shelter. He chose rehab and now is living in Florida (we are in Illinois) and working and actually seems to be growing as a person. He's our youngest, and it was VERY hard for us to do this. The hardest thing in the world and we learned that it doesn't mean we don't love him; it means we want him to be a responsible adult and it was never gonna happen with us around. I'm not saying that your son is using drugs but something is not right. As I learned on this forum "nothing changes if nothing changes". You have to change how you handle him because he's comfortable - he isn't going anywhere. A good therapist will help you see that. Good luck and keep us posted. As you can read here you are NOT ALONE! [/QUOTE]
