[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 687608, member: 1550"] If he is selling drugs (or not...you don't know either way as my daughter told me that if you use you also sell) his not having to pay for his car won't stop him. That's not why they sell drugs. They do it to have money to buy drugs. He is nowhere near responsible if he isn't thinking about his future. He is thinking like a drug user...get by, do as little as possible, hit the folks up for money. Giving any addict money never helps them stop using. Just gives them more money to do it. The decision to change their life has to come from them. They have to be sick of it, like my daughter says she was. She sold some drugs. She wasn't a big time dealer but according to her if you are an addict you sell some drugs. Since I never lived in that world, I don't know if she is right or if that was just within her drug using group. One thing I'm sure of is that nobody with a kid living an iffy life knows the truth of that person's life. They don't tell us unless/until they straighten out. Then we at least we're shocked at the types of drugs our daughter used and that she sold. We didn't know. None of us do. We can't even guess. I hope your son is truly on the right track. I still remember how awful it was. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
