[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 761068, member: 15032"] Welcome and sorry you have to be here but glad you found us. More will be along to offer their advice and experience. Why reinvent the wheel? Part of my story is in my signature and what worked for me may not work for others. I'd say that your son needs to adult and you need to stop giving him money as you already know. It's nothing you did; it's all on HIM and he continues to make bad choices. Why? No one knows that answer. My son finally turned himself around when we sent him to a very strict Christian based program in Memphis for 13 months. He knew we would not let him back in our home OR our lives unless he straightened out. I did not want him as a son otherwise. My heart could not bear it any longer. In August he will move back to our hometown to be close to his older brothers. We will follow in 2023. We are helping him for a year as he will live in our place and ONLY because he has turned his life around. I think any parent that is able would help their adult child IF they have struggled and have proved they are ready to change their life. We are very blessed that we are able to help him get established. A therapist helped me learn to detach with love and establish firm boundaries, not only for me but for him. Also my faith and prayer got me through the very dark times. You have to find what works for your family. :notalone: [/QUOTE]
