[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 726085, member: 21895"] Ask yourself why he has no money. Ask yourself if you step in and help what will change this time around. He is the maker of his own circumstances not you. I understand how difficult it is to let them go and not reduce them. My son had been on the street. His choice as he refused to go to a homeless shelter. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Perhaps your son will not take accountability for his actions until he is fully accountable on his own. This may mean he will have to choose between a shelter and behave or be on the streets. The fact that he felt it was acceptable to buy himself clothes and watches and not plan for his future is a huge sign that he has no comprehension or respect for his living issues. He has a lot of maturing to do and you are correct if you keep reducing him it will continue to enable him. This is a very real struggle for many of us. [/QUOTE]
