[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 743602, member: 15032"] So as of November 18 our son is officially living with us: He put a down payment on a used truck that he wanted. He had eaten sandwiches to save money while others went out to eat and we were told he worked very, very hard to save. He saved $2k in 5 months while paying rent and tithe. He only made $10 per hour so that is impressive. Husband found a good price on a good vehicle for him. He opened a bank account and has almost $1k in there now. We paid for first month's insurance and license plates/registration. He has been applying for jobs and is at an interview right now. He will take something to make sure he can pay car payments and continue to search for what he really wants to do. He has no idea what career path he wants to follow. We have talked to him about Coast Guard reserves and he is open to it. Seems he wants to do it when he wants to and does not want us to tell him what to do and when to do it. We reiterated that he may find a career through this avenue. He has been working out almost every day. He invested in protein powder and some other powder and watches what he eats. He is as strong as an ox and looks better than he has ever looked. Ever. He met a girl online already (some app these kids use). They have been texting like crazy all week. I am not sure if they have actually spoken. They are going on a date Friday night. She is a nursing student in the town next to us. She looks all American and clean cut. I looked at her FB page. He is taking her to dinner. He went to church with us on Sunday and said he will volunteer and get more involved when he is ready. He also is aware of Celebrate Recovery meetings nearby so I am hoping he will attend. He makes his bed every day. He showers and shaves. He had horrible hygiene before. Overall I feel pretty good about his progress. He told me that he has matured a lot and that I don't have to worry about him anymore because he is an adult. Okay wish it was that easy but all I can do is pray that he stays on the right path. Thanks to all for your continued support. I am trying to think positive and be thankful for each good day. Miracles can and do happen. [/QUOTE]
