[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 541642, member: 59"] I have the same questions TL does. If the car and insurance are in his name there's not much you can do. If it's in your name get it out now. We had to do that with our 20 year old daughter just this past March. She is living on her own also and was bringing home about $1700 a month. She used every penny on drugs/alochol and partying and then she stole $1000 more from her employer and was fired. In just three months she spent thousands on partying. We took her off our car insurance and paid the first six months for her own policy and changed the title. It's only a matter of time before she is arrested for DUI or worse. She has been in a drug treatment facility and outpatient facility and also lived in a sober house for six months. She has now decided she is not an addict. I never thought I would be saying this but you almost have to let him fall before he gets help. If you talk to him and he is not willing to get help on his own there isn't much you can do except take care of yourself and don't enable him in any way. I'm so sorry you are facing this. Our kids are too young to be going through this. My daughter just turned 21 and there is no way she is going to stop drinking or smoking pot now because she has waited her whole life to be able to party legally. All I can do now is hope she asks for help before something awful happens. Nancy [/QUOTE]
