[QUOTE="1905, post: 631691, member: 2668"] When my son was talking, well...he was lying. Anything, even stupid things he didn't need to lie about. Don't answer his texts anymore. Just totally do not. I know it will be hard, but feel good about yourself very time you don't engage him. I know we all want to help our kids and give them a hand up. A hand out is not helpful to anyone. You give... and he stomps on you. The nice son will come back as soon as you stop letting him lie and you stop giving him stuff. It will take a long time, but this is his life and he has to fix it himself. He will come back to you. Give it a few years, I promise, don't talk to him anymore. In a few years he'll come back and thank you. This is how you help him as strange as that sounds. [/QUOTE]
