[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 13322, member: 10"] Hi, Sorry about the situation. You know your kid so you should have a good idea how he would react to using computer time as leverage. It is possible you could get into an ugly power struggle and nobody wins. The only consequence I would go for - write him an empathetic letter that you are prepared to do everything to help have a constructive life that offers him a future , get all the help he needs as long as he is willing to cooperate , if not you need to let some else try , give up your guardian rights for his and your future , maybe a young adult , therapist could talk to him . He seems depressed etc , but he needs to want to get out of the deep hole he is in. The right medication would help , but he needs to admit to the problem and ask for help. Not easy Sending prayers and positive thoughts in your direction Allan [/QUOTE]
