[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 726117, member: 1550"] Guidance Seeker, he is not a child and will survive rain and cold. There are places he can hang out and go to. I passionately believe that in your son's case, he is worse than most in his blatent defiance and disregard of your tireless help and his laughing at his own very childish misbehavior....he is quite terrible in blowing through every place where he is allowed to stay. I am pretty sure that if he were in the U.S. he would have seen jail. I think he needs to be cold and uncomfortable to learn to appreciate warm places. He needs to be thought of by you as an adult, not a naughty child. If he is homeless maybe that would help him. I assume he has a coat, hat and boots. In the UK I believe it doesn't really get dangerously cold. He can follow the rules f he doesn't like the rain/snow. Or not. His choice. I would do tough love. That is how my daughter learned and quit drugs. Your son is disregarding every second chance you give him. He in my opinion ran out of second changes. I would get out of his way and let him face the consequences of his actions. I feel he won't learn any other way. I know Tourette's Syndrome hard, but helping isn't helping him. [/QUOTE]
