Hello all. I've been here before but it's been a while.
My difficult child is now 18 and still at home. Same issues as before (pot and whatever other drugs he feels like taking, behavior, legal troubles, etc).
He's been lucky enough to avoid any long term jail stints (he's been in for a few weeks a couple of times), but I'm guessing he's pushing his luck to it's limits. What's kinda funny is my wife's opinion is that he's unlucky.
He's been talking about seeing a military recruiter which I really hope he does but I don't have much faith in that sticking. He just can't seem to be able to do anything right. He can't keep a job more than a week. He's had 3 or 4 over the past year but managed to get fired or quit each one. He seems to be incapable of doing anything. He can't get himself out of bed unless my wife visits him 5 or 6 times. It's like he's still in junior high. He has a one track mind; how do I get some more pot, who can I some some pot with?
Is there any hope for him to ever get it together? Will a longer term jail sentence change things?
