[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 675679, member: 19887"] I just read your thread, and feel that we are kind of in a similar situation with our son. We are planning on giving him the options: 1. Move out, some support with groceries only, we will have no say about drugs etc, except that we don't agree and no help with tuition or rent 2. Stay home with a car, some help with tuition, free rent and food. BUT no drugs However, he has been doing #2 and we haven't enforced anything. We have always been scared of we kick him out he will only deal drugs and never get back into university and on a better path.... Every time we think we see a change it seems to fall apart. I wish I had a crystal ball to see that he is alright... I'm sorry I don't have any advice either than the fact you are not alone. I have felt so alone before I started reading these posts. All of my friends kids seem to have figured it out, and I feel so ashamed... Like I failed. Hope things start to look up for us, Colleen [/QUOTE]
