[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 7947, member: 2389"] [ QUOTE ] I do not think written contracts work with these kids at all. They hear you and know what you want. they do not want to stop drugging at that point. they only need to have you store their stuff while they are transient. I believe that is exactly what he is doing. I am storing his things, and if he gets in a jam he thinks he can come home. DL-yes he is an adult,just not behaving like one. When I was his age I had lived on my own and paid my own way for a year. Suz-Yes it is hard, but it helps so much to be able to talk to been there done that moms. He called last night to say he was staying with barbie, I just said I thought you were starting a job after Christmas. He mumbled some excuse and I said okay, bye. easy child let me know today that she and him got into an arguement on the phone about what he is doing and how he is living. She met Barbie when she brought him home christmas eve and couldn't believe he was hanging around with her. I have made up my mind (with the help of all you guys) to just give him his stuff when he shows back up. Maybe he will wake up a little if he thinks we are not going to be behind him in court. He also checks in with po on the 12 jan. I have always been with him, maybe handing it all over to him to deal with will make a difference, who knows? Nothing I have done has changed the path HE has chosen to take. [/QUOTE]
