[QUOTE="WannabeAgoodFather, post: 704632, member: 21165"] My step son is going through a similar stage since he was 16. Now 22, dropped out of college, delivering dominos to support his lavish purchases and smoking habit. It just doesn't end there. I locked up my wine collections as I found out the only extremely expensive ones were gone. He has sold phones, laptops and whatever he could get his hands on. It is that serious. When he moved back home as a 21 year old drop out, we gave him a very simple guideline but nothing was followed. Rehab was one of them, his mother told him he had no choice but to attend. One session was enough for him as he claimed that he did not belong there and mother bought the story. Therefore, it goes back to square 1. Nothing has gotten better for the last 6 years. You are just one of all these parents here trying to share information, grab positive methods and other things you might need. I just joined 2 days ago and am getting lots of information and support. My wife just sent me a text, showing me a post it note she put on his door saying [B]"You were born to do great things. Time to start"[/B] For me, it is useless where that small memo doesn't get near his head at all where "Here she goes again" It is extremely frustrating to see these kind of behavior from young people who have the real future in front of them.
