[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 711303, member: 1550"] If he were depressed, and I suffered major depressive disorder for a few decades, it does not suddenly disappear at night so that you sleep all day out of depression but feel up to being out all night. Depression sticks around 24/7. in my opinion he is a danger on the road, probably using a sort of speed (meth, cocaine) at night then taking maybe benzos to sleep during the day. My daughter did exactly this and explained it in detail after she quit. She preferred sleeping days as the action was out at night. After her first accident, she never drove our cars again. We were tough on her. She used from age 12 (yes, you read that right) to 19, quit after we packed her bags, and have seen her spend the next twelve years being redponsible and kind. Was it easy to make her leave, cut off the money and car? Absolutely not. But in her case she was saved by it. Our relationship is great. You have to do it your way. My way would say no cars of mine and certainly not paying for car insurance or gas or his probably drug infested dented license plate and surprise drug testing. And a ticket out of the house if he refused help. But...this is me. I fo recommend Al Anon and private therapy to help you cope in real time. I am sorry this continues. It would be great if you and hub could let go of his drama and enjoy yourselves. You are as jimportant as your son and if he is using drugs, how can you suppirt him? If he is truly depressed, he is not eager to get help, but it does sound suspicious that he must sleep all day to mute his depression yet can party all night. That isnt how depression is...it is suspicious. Do take care of yourself. You are the person you have control over, nobody else. [/QUOTE]
