[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 681208, member: 18958"] I have a lot of that with my own son. I will not go into it. You already did a good job. My son is 27. So, definitely old enough to know better. And he was never like this before. As a teen he was very interested in his appearance. His habits were within normal limits. Messy, but within the appropriate range. In my son's case I think it is because he has been living near the streets, going from living situation to living situation. He does not have the structure in his life to maintain good habits. And more and more he seems to not care. It is a new normal for him. When I am sad and frightened like I am now, I feel he is living borderline human. I mean, animals, know to seek out clean space and to not dirty their own. So, what do I make of it: Structure and habits. And resistance to authority and indifference about complying. And like you say, acting out. Probably the same thing for my own son. I think you need to find a way to tighten up with some kind of behavioral modification regimen. There is a program of which I cannot remember the name which is very effective. It is good to see you posting, Annie. I am so glad for you, the good things that are happening for you. COPA [/QUOTE]
