[QUOTE="Lil, post: 666290, member: 17309"] Hello and welcome. I'm so sorry you have to be here. I'm Jabberwockey's wife. We're unusual I think, as we seem to be the only couple on the board. Our son sounds a bit like yours, but ours made no secret of his love of weed and still does, though whether he's still smoking regularly I don't know as he no longer lives near us. He too has some of the revolutionary ideas you mention, but to a much smaller extent. College for him was a place to live for free (on our dime) and get stoned all day. I think he'd do very well in a hippie commune - "Turn on, tune in, drop out". This is always a possibility. I find it interesting how my son has "done" homelessness. He talks about being homeless, but the fact is, he's never slept on the street. We put him out for stealing - not food - things he could pawn and finally cash, which I'm sure went to drugs. He spent three days with a friend, then a homeless shelter, then an apartment we rented, then some guys he met had an apartment he stayed in, then his grandparents then his girlfriend rented a hotel room now with her and her mother. One thing he learned in the shelter is it's hardly full of philosophers. He spent a lot of time talking about how stupid the people he knew were and got himself in trouble for stealing...with a friend from the shelter...who also stole [I]from[/I] him! In his mind, it's a terrible thing to steal - from him. Him stealing was a whole different thing, of course. Reality slapping your son in the face might change some things. [/QUOTE]
