[QUOTE="Peanut21762, post: 692435, member: 20485"] Hi Leafy, Thank you for the hugs. Really need them. I'm sure he could as well but it's been so long since he even let me near him. We used to do everything together he would even help me deliver the orders from my home business. Was so outgoing, now so withdrawn. I am trying the tough love angle to see where that goes. He is 18, dropped out of high school but did get his GED. He promised when we let him drop out that he would get the GED and go to trade school. Now he's saying he doesn't want to go to trade school. Well now it's time to start paying your own way I told him. He only works 3 days a week (26 hours) and I was giving him lunch money until this week. I told him he makes enough money to buy the things he wants so now it's time to buy his own lunch. Didn't even get his father a card for father's day. My husband has always been so good to him. He's good to both kids but they had a special connection because they are both sports nuts. My son, not so much anymore. But my husband would take him to baseball games, basketball games, player's signings. Whatever he wanted. Although when he wanted his license I said I didn't think that was a good idea but my husband insisted, said he needed some normalcy in his life. Needed to start driving himself to work. The first night he had his license he came home with so much pot, we found in his bedroom. His reasoning was he didn't intend to smoke it, he was going to sell it. The list just goes on, too long to type here. Anyway, he's been in two accidents in less than a year and last night my husband actually asked me if my son agreed to go to rehab and get help, could we give him the car back.
