[QUOTE="YogiLori, post: 762700, member: 30044"] I feel the strength of your post and it is good for me to read. My son is just 19 but we have had 4 solid years of rebellion, abuse, blame and stress. We kicked him out of our house when he got a DUI in May. He evaded police (was going 80mph in a 35), fake ID, reckless driving and thrown in jail. We did not want to bail him out but after seeing his arraignment, my husband and I were in tears. My husband got $500 and went down there but he also called his drug dealer........He has no license till 12/22. He rode his bike to lifeguard over the summer but now the pool is closed. He lives at his friends dad's house for free which is really nice. He is doing nothing but laying in bed all day cause everyone went to college. His ego is as big as the USA and he is all talk about how rich he is, how he is going to throw his riches in other's faces when he makes his millions. We are a happy normal middle class family. We don't live like that nor did we raise him like that. Now that he was alone for a week, he asked to move back home for a 6 weeks till a friend can move into an apt with him. We said no. He has never wanted to participate in our family's birthdays or celebrations. He wouldn't eat with us, he'd take his plate to his room. He did the bare minimum but when he asked for something, I would do it. It was one-sided. He treated his girlfriend horribly and she finally dumped him. He is completely alone and I feel like I can do more - my guilt is literally eating me away. I know I cannot help him. We've tried therapy, mental health inpatient, patience, tolerance, swallowing our pride. It is so hard...... [/QUOTE]
