[QUOTE="strugglingdad, post: 648314, member: 18750"] Thanks CoM. I'm an engineer....I fix things. It's what I do. Not being able to fix this has been brutal. Knowing that I had a hand in creating this thing that is fully autonomous and can choose to destroy itself if it chooses...man is it ever hard. It also makes me wonder what we did wrong to get to this point. I am friends with lots of people who have kids that are happy, productive, motivated young adults. Why isn't mine? If we're products of our environment, what environment did I create that led to this? Too hard on him? Not hard enough? Life too easy? Too spoiled? We've always talked about actions and consequences and taking responsibility for what you do. I know he understands these things at an academic level. He just doesn't seem to....care. I don't get it.
