[QUOTE="mof, post: 695859, member: 20533"] I'm so sorry. I have been there and this is where it gets tricky. What we want for them does not matter. Truly...if he wants school...He has to make it happen or ask nicely for help. If he's anything like our son, he can't make future plans, he just can't. Cleaning up...ugh. I have tried to ignore the obvious...certainly you would expect him to care.. , I always think aren't they embarrassed...nope. they simply don't love themselves enough. I pray for the day I don't have to hint...' please look nice'. We found out our son had his lip pierced...I had a cow! I told him if he wants to live at home, on our insurance, under our roof the piercing goes. When he's on his own...He can disfigurement his self any way he wants. He is starting to slowly see the light. I know how hard this is...but reality, he is not going to look like that preppy college kid right now. Maybe never. He has to work to get better...when they work t he steps they continuously have to take self inventory ....it's their timeline. I'm learning... cringing....crying....but living. You are not alone!
