[QUOTE="tripletmom, post: 708300, member: 21483"] I am so needing advice... my son graduated from high school in 2016. He picked up a couple of odd jobs in the summer (mostly when pushed by my husband or myself) and refused to take classes at the local community college in the fall. He spent his fall months "researching jobs'... mostly 'on-line' type jobs. He tried two of them and found that they only gave a couple of hours a day or the job was beyond his ability. He still insists on finding an on-line job and also wants to take on-line classes. He is not anti social ... but is not extremely social either. He has a friend a couple of years younger than himself and they like to hike and just hang out. No drugs involved (very good son in that way). He just seems afraid to move on with his life. The problem is that although he applied to some local stores (like hardware and garden center). He is very negative about actually getting a job there. He has become verbally abusive when pushed to pursue other job options. He is stressing the whole family out. His twin brother has gone through a time of depression due to the death of a close friend (this was not a friend of son #1) and is needing for his brother to be busy/productive during the day so he can have a time of healing. Triplet sister is taking a full load of classes... I'll start there... any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
