[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 239061, member: 6271"] Standswithcourage: My question for my son when he does things is: What did you think was going to happen? Now a young adult he needs to empower himself to manage life as it is. What I like about the question is that it dignifies the fact that one does think to get into these situations and then one thinks to move on in ones life to the next situation. Lecturing is not the answer as a parent to everything. As the parent of an adult being there for his process also requires that you listen and understand what is this person actually thinking? Male immaturity and dependancy issues are linked. He can find his way out of his dead end way of thinking. When those changes set into a persons lifestyle the results are dramatic. If he is an addict he may be on a healthy path and only able to focus on the issue of not using. It is so sad when a person with potential in youth has wandered into a tormenting addiction and emerges with successful day, hour, minute by minute being defined merely by what they do not do. right now he is focused on his worry about these charges, the court dates, the details and what will happen next. What does he want from life when this is over? What can he do where he is now to move toward his objective himself? Listen and take care of yourself and your family. He is an adult and he can and will do as he decides on his own. [/QUOTE]
