[QUOTE="UpandDown, post: 701467, member: 19025"] Defiantchild, your post is very timely for me. I am happy to hear your story. My son will be 18 in the Spring and I am worried sick as to what our next step is. We have many ups and downs with marijuana use, anger and disrespect through the years. He is 100% better than he was, however he has a lot of maturing and growing to do still. We were once expecting him to go to college and perhaps play his sport in college. He was a bright driven kid. We are still struggling with how things went so terribly wrong for him and he stopped trying or caring about school and sports. He does have a part time job and is deeply driven to establishing a business spending hours and hours working on it. Things always have to been on his terms 100%. At this point, he knows that he is allowed to continue to live at home as long as he is focused on graduating high school. I just found out that he is failing English. He is hard headed and thinks he can make a million dollars and all will be well. I have come to the place where I realize I have to let go and allow him to live his life on his terms. I have lost so much time and energy and happiness with my husband and other children due to the stress of having him in our home. I will allow him to do things his way but he has to move out. I can't continue to be cloaked in his moods and ups and downs and bad attitude. We have several more months until that day. I just ordered the Viktor Frankl book you recommended. I am looking forward to finding hope in it. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
