[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 755347, member: 22817"] When he was younger, he had friends that he would hang with. He was always so much fun and his friends loved him. As he got older, he changed friends... My son quit football and then got with this crew who would party on the weekends. They were a grade ahead of him and were not the best to be around. They didn't care about school and my son was very intelligent but stopped caring. This group were into weed and booze. The leader of the crew didn't have any idea who his father was and his mom would allow booze parties. My son was a very heavy young man and was bullied quite a bit. He had skinny friends and this crew that they hung with were not very nice to them when they were drunk. I remember him telling me what they did to his friend when he was drunk so I can only imagine what happened to my son. He met a girl then and he straightened out for a few months and got his grades up again. He didn't hang with them as much but then the girl broke up with him so he was right back with that crew. Met another girl and he got back on the right path for a few months. Once he left for college, he was drunk every day he told me. He went to college with his girlfriend and then transferred to another college and lived alone where he drank all the time. He did well in college even with being intoxicated all the time. A friend of mine whose son also went to the same college and who was once my son's best friend told me that her son said every time her son would see my son on campus he was drunk. He turned into being a loner after the alcohol took over. He moved across the country alone and the girlfriend did move out for a year and during that time he just worked and was with her. Never branching out to make friends. She left and he was in and out of rehab and seemed so happy to have guys around when he would call. As soon as the rehab time was over, he went to living alone again. The only thing he cares about is having a girlfriend. He had met a friend in rehab and they seem to get together but then both relapsed and he ended up stealing from my son at least 2x's. I understand this crushed him and his desire to have a friend. So he works and then just goes back to his apartment alone. There is a large sober community right near him and the have a gym and meeting place where he could hang out and watch football games, etc. They do activities like biking, skiing, etc. but he refuses to even try it. All I can do is pray for him. It is his choice. [/QUOTE]
