[QUOTE="oldman, post: 720882, member: 22348"] I just found this site and opened my account here. My son is 19, smokes weed (and may be uses other drugs) drinks alcohol. He got accepted to a good school last year, but didnt want to study and this year came back home to go to local community college, now he is failing there too. He basically told me today that he wants to drop out of the college, get a job at local grocery and earn minimum wage, use drug, drink alcohol and a stupid story that in a few years he will earn enough to get a place for himself and will move out. My wife and I have never used drug, drink alcohol socially and we have daughter in high school. My son also give me an alternative that I can kick him out of the house, if I can’t tolerate his life style and don’t want to support his decision to drop out of the school. The reason for dropping out of school is that he doesn’t want to put any effort at his school work, he wants to play computer game, go out for smoking and drinking with his friends and just come home for food and sleep. He doesn’t do anything at home to help out And Is extremely confrontational. So, it makes sense for me to kick him out of the house, but my challenge is by kicking him out what will I accomplish? I fear if he doesn’t have a place to stay then he will get more and more involved with drug and will get more in trouble with law (he has already a DUI that is reduced to reckless driving in his record). We have no family member and no family support. Please help. [/QUOTE]
