[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 747602, member: 15032"] Welcome and sorry that you have to be here. More will be along but my initial thoughts are that your son possibly has a drug addiction to more than just MJ. I say this because that is what his behaviors say to me and you'll find these behaviors in many places on this board - including my own son. Usually as parents we only see/know the tip of the iceberg. Your son is still very young and I'm sure you did nothing wrong in raising him as most of us here have been loving parents only wanting what is best for our children; and many have been used and abused by the poor choices of our adult children until we create our own boundaries. We all know the confusion, shame and sheer madness that this creates in our lives. It can pull the entire family apart and make you question everything! My advice is to let your son suffer the consequences of his actions. Only then will he truly learn that these behaviors are very harmful to him and those that love him. He is now seen as an adult and society is not kind to those that break the law. My son took many years to learn this unfortunately but he finally is on the right track. I wish I had gotten tougher sooner. That is my only regret in parenting other than not taking him to church weekly and developing his faith. Good luck and keep posting and reading here for wisdom and strength. [/QUOTE]
