[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 643663, member: 15832"] He want to move back home, I'm guessing? 2 years ago this month, we moved our guy out to a cheap condo that we had bought for him. He lasted about 2 weeks and then his mental health and substance abuse issues got the better of him and he ended up in the hospital. He hasn't been back since, and I think he knows better than to ask to come home. The condo is now rented out. Your kid's issues don't sound quite as bad, though the theft is a problem. He'll definitely need support from a therapist, and it would be good for you guys to get your own therapist as well to help you set and stick to those boundaries. He'll need help with life skills. I wish you the best of luck with all this. I am worried about that friend/friends coming around, as I am sure you are. Expect setbacks and very slow progress. My cousin the social worker says watching these difficult child type young people improve is like watching paint dry...lol. [/QUOTE]
