[QUOTE="strangeworld, post: 720908, member: 22313"] Unfortunately I have a 19 year old daughter who is doing those things except she refuses school.. She has been coming and going for about a year and a half now. I stopped giving her rides home at night because several times she was violent and high or drunk or both. She was living w a boyfriend (who ee didn't know and is now in jail waiting on jury trial this month). But now she's drugging and drinking on the streets and park and who knows where. I don't have any advice other than al anon and therapy if you can. Ultimately your son is going to do what he wants. Just like my daughter. I can't deal wirh the emotional al ups and downs....walking on eggshells if she's home sleeping til noon. Not helping out around the house...not bathing. She's really the one who left...mia half the time. It's so hard when she does this because then she'll want to come here for a while sometimes and considers it her home. Just like I considered my parents' home my home. She texted on Sat saying she didn't feel well. I didn't offer to pick her up and bring her home (she doesn't drive). This is my heart breaking as I try to sustain boundaries. Unfortunately some of us parents have to let our kids go before they are ready and before we are ready. [/QUOTE]
