[QUOTE="Guidance seeker, post: 725744, member: 22632"] Too be honest, I feel he is a long way away from changing just yet. I’m probably being very naive by thinking a few months would mean things would continue to improve. I really need to change how I think. I was lying in bed this morning getting myself all anxious about HIS problems - the debts, accommodation, not paying fines, how he will cope etc. I allow his problems to become my problems and feel overwhelmed by them, especially because it’s all out of my control. Then I start to think of ways I can solve them which doesn’t help him develop any responsibility at all. He is very immature for his age and his underlying conditions don’t help at all but he was more reasonable at 15 than he is at 20 so I think the drugs exacerbate everything. He doesn’t seem to care at all about the things that worry me. He doesn’t seem to consider consequences at all. He has completely changed in the last 4 years or so and I have lost the wonderful son I once had. [/QUOTE]
