[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 530743, member: 1967"] I didn't realize you were talking about Jr. college. If he is college age and doesn't want to continue with school and he is cursing at you . . . the answer is pretty obvious. He needs to move out and pay for things himself with the money he makes at this job. Are you buying him this car? If he is smoking pot and there is a possibility that he is driving high . . . again the answer is obvious. The hardest part for most of us parents (including me) of adult aged children is realizing that we have to give up the idea that we can control their behavior. You can't stop him from using pot and driving. However, you also don't have to provide him with a car. Now having said this . . . I am the first person to say it is much harder to do than say. {{{Hugs}}} ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
