[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 560680, member: 14557"] I'm sorry he is so determined to make his life as hard as possible right now. And I'm also sorry, that his choices make also your and rest of your family's life hard. Hopefully main thing wrong with him is immaturity. They DO grow out of it - at least at times and some of them. He will likely find out that life as an emancipated young person isn't all that fun and easy. You may want to think beforehand how and how much you are willing to help and with what stipulations. been there done that and I would want to say that advise is cheap, so is coaching a kid through taking care of the things. Just remember to end the phone call if he is too disrespectful while asking your help. When it comes to things that would require you to do or give more than moving your lips, you may want to be more frugal with your help. If people around him make it too easy, he will not learn and there are some valuable lessons learned in this for him. Other than that, just try to keep the relationship going. It may even be easier when he is out of your house. [/QUOTE]
