[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 691166, member: 18958"] Thank you a dad. About the depression, I really think that lately, it is not a real depression but a result of drug use (marijuana seems way less--and we will soon test him and caffeine. He takes caffeine pills and he is seeing (and saying) how depressed he feels when he is coming down from these. Unfortunately there seems to be not a way to test for caffeine (and he is well aware of the hypocrisy assumed by us criticizing his caffeine use-when we reach first thing for our coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon.)None at all, in fact, I called a few minutes ago (M and he are working today until mid-day) and M said he was working very well. I spoke with my son and commented how pleased I was and he responded: [I]Mom I am trying to change to do things better. [/I] I am agreeing with you, and that after they finish remodeling the house (they are actually working on two houses, and they have had the help of a couple of other men) the idea is that my son live in the house, and share it with others. I know that would be a risk because of the potential for conflict and bad influence but there is also the potential for good. I think the worst thing for my son is to isolate. I so agree with you here. M and I have in the past discussed the possibility of one at a time investing in fixer upper houses for an investment (where I live the houses are cheap) and there is the potential for long term growth, so the risk would not be very great (I hope). If we did this it would prolong this process for my son, while he is supervised by M, (actually he is teaching him to work.) What do you think about that? If this keeps going well (the working in the houses) to buy another house, for the express purpose of providing structured work for my son? Or do you think I should cut him loose when this house done? Or leave it up to him? Thank you, a dad. How have you been? [/QUOTE]
