[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 712513, member: 1550"] I think any 21 year old is old enough to be on his own. I work with many who are and all my own kids were, even autistic son. I am wondering if he isnt playing you. Homesick? That can pull at heartstrings. Nobody was doing well when he lived with you. I also dont believe he is ready to go to college and actually finish. Let him take out a loan if he really wants this. Prove he wants it, not your housong and money. He finds a way to get drugs snd drink. If he really wants community college he will find a way. Often they spew aboit college to excite us They know that is a trigger for us to forgive them. He is fresh from stealing from you. You have to do what you have to do but please go to YOUR therapist to help with this. What our adult kids say and do are different. Promises mean nothing. Words are not prodictive action. If son drinks and smokes weed he is far from sober. He definitely has an alcohol problem. Jmo. Take care of YOUR needs. Your son will figure it out if you let him. [/QUOTE]
