[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 500125, member: 1967"] Well, it sounds to me like you are stuck with him for a while. I would go ahead and set the court date so you can start the eviction process. In the meantime, lock up your valuables and let natural consequences happen. If he is smoking pot, he is probably stealing to get the money to buy it. Eventually, he will get caught and go to jail. Let him know that you will not be posting bond or paying any fines. He will probably also end up getting kicked out of school. If he finishes school, great. If not, by that time you should have the eviction notice in hand and he will have to go. You can't make him stop smoking pot and you can't stop him from hanging around with druggie friends. I'm afraid that at this point you have to expect the worst and hope for the best. I'm sorry if I am not painting a pretty picture. Unfortunately, it is what it is. Remember the three C's: You didn't cause it, you can't control it, and you can't cure it. Only your difficult child can decide to change. Maybe others will come up with a better plan. In the meantime, keep posting and let us help you get through it. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
