[QUOTE="ksprincess, post: 378879, member: 7830"] I'm not on here too much, but I have a question for you "experts" out there. My son is 18.5 and is a pot smoker and drinker (although I don't think he's to the point of being an alcoholic). He is on diversion for 2 felonies which puts him in a really bad spot if his D.O. tests him. Anyway, he's been pawning our things for $$. He refuses to get a job. We've gotten him 4 jobs in the last 2 years and he's screwed up every one. He gets mad that no one will hire him because of his "record", but yet he continues smoking pot so that he can't pass a drug test either. Basically, he doesn't WANT to work. Never has. He say he doesn't care about anything. He doesn't care that we just caught him this morning with my husband's wedding band and my high school class ring in his wallet and texts on his phone with pictures of them and plans to pawn them. He just doesn't care. He doesn't care if he lives or dies, he doesn't care if we kick him out. We have done all we can for him and have given him until the 30th of September and he's out. My question is this....are there any facilities that will take someone over 18 that doesn't want to be helped? We are financially deep in debt because of job losses and can't afford to send him anywhere. Any possessions we have that are/were worth anything, he's already sold. We hate to call the police because it has only caused us more heartache and money in the past. What to do? [/QUOTE]
