[QUOTE="standswithcourage, post: 271800, member: 3948"] I agree because my son is exactly the same way. He has been living in an abandoned trailer. Awful. We told him the exact same thing. He couldnt smoke pot, have it around our property, neighborhood, etc. also he abuses alcohol and pills. We do not take him to the doctor, ER, etc. I am concerned for him but he is choosing the trailer over a normal life. He has been to rehab, counselors, outpatient, inpatient, everything - he knows what to do but basically refuses. We cannot live like that - his lifestyle is not ours anymore. I am doing ok with it but struggle some. Sometimes I feel lilke waving a white flag but I know he cannot live at my house. The chaos of it all seems crazy. Why cant they seem to get it? My son probably like yours is very talented. He could do anything he wanted to. It seems he does not want to give up pot for anyone or anything. So be it. He is supposed to go back to court on the 20th for another weed charge. They will just smack him on the hand and give him 10 days in jail. He doesnt care. Weed is too important for him. Also he went for a job interview. The man has hired him back a lot and seems to want to help him but my son needs to help himself. He feels he just needs money - well money just gets him in more trouble. He needs to get himself right first - before money. He will just be kicked out of wherever he goes if he doesnt address his problem first. I am trying to stand firm too. Maybe we can stand together. It is the best thing to do. Kudos to you! I completely understand. [/QUOTE]
