[QUOTE="wantmysonback, post: 540933, member: 14919"] Thank you for your quick response. It is so good to talk to someone who knows what we are experiencing. Yes, he has had trouble fitting in socially in the past. He was bullied in middle school. He has ADD and has suffered from depression. We have paid for all of his school until this, his upcoming junior year. He has taken out a federal loan in his own name for his tuition/books but we will be paying his living expenses. After reading your response and some of the other forums we plan on telling him that he will be getting back into counseling to help him discover what is going on (we believe it is old wounds from the bullying) to make him continue this destructive behavior. We are also going to take the car away again except for when he works as a consequence for his behavior. We plan on finding a local support group to help us deal. We should have done that years ago. I guess we didn't because we have been on an emotional rollercoaster hoping and praying that it would just end. [/QUOTE]
