[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 487749, member: 1550"] usually when I post here, I don't try to figure out what could be wrong with the adult child. In many ways, in my opinion it doesn't matter anymore, especially if drug abuse is the issue. You can't do anything with anybody who is using drugs, but it does not sound like your son is doing that? May I ask about his early history and development? Any late milestones? How does he get along with his peers. Was he sort of an "odd duck?" Did he ever get any help in school or did he do well in school and not need help? Was his turn for the worst sudden or pretty much THERE all the time? Usually I would tell you that at eighteen, he either pulls his weight or I would suggest giving him a contract that he either follow or plan to go out on his own in, say, four-six months. However, is there maybe something wrong with your child that stops him from doing the things most kids do when they graduate from high school? I think moms have good gut instincts...so...what do you think is going on? Has he EVER had a complete evaluation, like from a neuropsychologist? I agree it would help to have one, but at his age it can only happen with his consent. Hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
