[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 760205, member: 23405"] Beth, My heart breaks for you. As mentioned many of us here on this site have gone through years of this kind of behavior and sorry to say but it's taken over 10+ yrs. from that age to have a glimmer of hope of change with my two sons and we are not "there" yet. I guess aside from my prayers for you I will have to say possibly the only thing that will stop him is getting in more and more trouble with the law. He has no boundaries or respect for you and this will expand outward as he continues to rebel. That's likely the only thing that will cause him to pause from time to time and with each instance maybe change a little. It's a long road ahead. My sons are now 28 and 32 and there's still homelessness and inability to take care of themselves and still use of pot because that's just the way it is. The dynamics of our living together have changed so we do not all live together anymore but I remember the days, of police at my door, calling me during the middle of the night because one of them just got picked up, holes in my doors, holes in my walls, stealing of our vehicles...the list goes on. During these very difficult times find your support system and lean on God. It's what will get you through to the other side...there is hope. There is always hope but it's a long journey. Sending prayers and hugs. [/QUOTE]
