[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 696279, member: 1550"] I don't have a similar situation, but this isn't your fault. Your son just might be differently wired in some ways and may not want what you want for him. in the meantime. He has really done a lot of good, even with his challenges. it is not easy to become a Marine. they dont take everyone. My hub is a vet. Thank your son for his service. Also, regardless of whether he is going to school.or not, he is moving out. Thats a huge step. Any hrlp he needs, he can get through the VA. I used to think the VA was horrible just because I heard it was. But my husband decided to use it when Obamacare went into effect snd both of us are amazed at how good it had been. Now it may not be great all over the country, but your son has free healthcare if he wants to seriously get help for anything. The resources are there. He probably could use help with his social skills, but you cant force him to get it. I'm sure you also know that combat vets often get post traumatic stress. Many of my hubs vet contacts from Nam have this. My hub did not go into combat. But again it is up to your son to initiate help. Take heart. I see this as mostly a win. Your son is on his way out of your house. No more free ride. He is a vet, which opened some doors for him for services if he decides to get help or go back to school or one day buy real estate. Meanwhile, Mom, you have a right to set rules in your own home Its YOUR home/sanctuary/castle. Dont feel you cant set boundaries. Hugs for your hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
