[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 706569, member: 11832"] Welcome. You will note in my signature that my son is also a gamer. I think that gamers struggle with real live people and find the gaming world to be far more interesting and compelling than real life. I honestly think video game addiction is just as bad as substance addiction. Does your son work? We found a way to limit the Xbox by turning it off remotely at midnight. That forces Ferb to either, a. go to a friend's house to continue gaming or b. do something else. If he is twenty, you can't very well force him into therapy. He has to want to go in order to make a difference in his life. Does he have any real life friends? Or does he only communicate with other gamers? [/QUOTE]
