[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 546427, member: 12490"] I have to laugh at the part where "he thinks it will be fun". Just wait untili he finds out how much life costs...;). So - he will either slowly find out through a series of failures on his own, figure out how to curb his behavior to meet what is required to live in our society, or he will hit bottom and come to you for help. Either way, let it be HIS problem, not yours. Read, attend support groups, take up a hobby. Try to focus on you. If/when he comes to you for help and he is capable of accepting help, you will be in a much better place to think clearly and help him. Get the behavior out from under your nose, be there to support positive actions when the opportunity arises, ie. agreeing to pay for counseling, and let him learn on his own because he is not open to working with you. He may be at some point in the future, when he sees his way isn't working, or he may just learn on his own. [/QUOTE]
