[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 198263, member: 84"] Hi Tracy and Welcome Back. You probably know the answer already. You can't. difficult child is 18. You can't do a single thing to help him if he doesn't want the help. The day he turned 18 your hands were tied. You are no longer responsible for the things he does. (which is a good thing) But also you can no longer force him to do anything. It stinks. But that's the way it is. I'd say your response to his current behavior was perfect. I know you're worrying about him, but these kids are far more resourceful than we give them credit for. (like the friend's uncles house) I'm sorry you're having to go thru this with difficult child. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
