[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 663944, member: 18958"] He does not need to like physical labor in order to work or to achieve or to be productive. There is an issue of motivation. Or something that interferes with motivation or goal setting, or persevering or the confidence to have hope. Or an intolerance of failure, or the possibility of such. My son when he was 18 got a Christmas job, saved all his money and bought a plane ticket to Rio de Janeiro to see a girl. Something bad happened there. He never again seemed to hope or risk like that. As the years go by, the disappointments mount up, desperation replaces confidence, it has gotten worse and worse. Like a tire in a rut on the road. Honestly, I do not know what it is or what to do. I know all I can do is watch. It is all beyond my control. Sometimes, I think I no longer even want to watch. [/QUOTE]
