[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 704959, member: 1550"] Sounds like he's an addict. People don't normally use needles for recreational use. That's probably why he is always in trouble. Any money you give him for "food" will likely help him buy drugs. It is unlikely he is just a casual drinker too. We mom's tend to be in denial. I know I was. Does he steal? Big red flag for serious drug use. in my opinion his boyfriend was smart not to bail him out and your mother is just making things worse. She bought him SIX (6) cars???? Unbelievable. She is either very rich or doesn't mind blowing the money she has. That blew me away. I'm glad she finally gets it. I am so sad for your heart, but your son is now a man who is breaking the law and refusing to live a normal life. You didn't make these decisions for him. You are not guilty of anything but loving him. You don't need that on your shoulders. It may be a good idea for you to go to an Al Anon meeting Trust me, substance abuse is part if not most of why he is in so much trouble. You either need to find a way to cope and to meet understanding peers or he will take you down with him. That is bad for him to see and for you to experience. Please remember to be very kind to a super important, kind person...yourself. You did not cause this and you deserve to be happy in spite of your sons struggles. [/QUOTE]
