[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 713172, member: 1550"] No. I think you are actually being positive and that it could be more than weed with all the stealing. It is not realistic to expect kids on drugs to do college and be ambitious. Even just weed can zap energy and motivation. Yes, he can quit. My daughter quit meth, cocaine, pills etc. Even cigarettes. But that was after she was told to leave our home and wanted to quit. Her entire life changed afterward. She went back to school on her own dime but she was sober. Your son is more likely to change if YOU change and get tough on him and stop giving him money and hold him accountable for if he steals...in other words press charges. Maybe make him get out or go to rehab. At this point in time, rehab is a better investment than college. Unless he was always this way, Son is more likely a typical drug addict than sociopath. Drug addicts act like sociopaths. I am very sorry you have to go through this. Perhaps therapy can help you stand strong against your sons horrible choices and abuse of you. What is going on now will not entice him to quit. Whatever he is doing. We rarely know everything. We had no idea the assortment of drugs Daughter used until she quit and told us. Take care of yourself. That is very important. You matter too. [/QUOTE]
