[QUOTE="JoyceM, post: 651012, member: 18852"] Hi everyone, thanks for listening. I am truly perplexed by my son. He's 25, a college grad, no major trouble until 5 years ago (but always different) . He binge drinks and does ridiculous, illegal things. Got in trouble with law 5 years ago, violated probation, put on probation again. Finally done with law problems, graduates college but still binge drinking, losing friendships, girlfriends, driving drunk....culminating in a DUI in January. Oh, and got kicked out of medication school last fall. So, we are back to square one. I cannot stand living with him. He's on his 3rd IOP since July and taking Antabuse. This has kept him from drinking and the suspended license has kept him from driving. I'm so at the end of my rope. I don't think this is ever going to get any better. He has zero motivation, hates himself for creating more trouble for himself ( yet does nothing to improve his situation). He has a job in the family business and of course can be brilliant, charming, kind and generous...yet there is "something" that holds him back. I just weep for what might have been. Thank you for listening. im going to AlAnon to learn to detach. It sure isn't easy...... [/QUOTE]
