[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 704578, member: 21066"] I think pot has killed his motivation in life. Cancel cable since he is obsessed. Since the house is in your name, he won't be able to have the cable provider come to re-install it. If you don't have TV in your home, he probably won't want to stay. He may have the money to pay for cable, but as the owner of the house, you have the right not to allow the cable people to enter your home. He will start streaming it or trying to watch it on his computer, but you can cancel the internet, too. As for re-entering college, a community college doesn't have the party environment that universities do, mainly because no one lives on campus. Since he obviously has money and a job, he can find a cheap apartment. You don't need to worry about him being able to support himself. He has enough money to make it if he cuts out the unnecessary things. If he wants to come home, tell him he has to be enrolled in college and can't use drugs. If he wants to piss his life away, tell him you can't bear to watch and want him to ruin his life elsewhere. He is 22. He should be ready to graduate from college by now.
