[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 59118, member: 3626"] BBK beat me to asking and saying what I was thinking. You have til Saturday to give an answer. Oh, no answer? Okay, Monday then. Sorry, I wouldn't take you seriously and I'm a pretty reasonable/reasoning adult. So, you know stuff about his druggie friends. Big deal. You've admitted you're afraid to do or say anything about them. You can't blame him for not believing you mean it. If McWeedy has to have a cell phone for your comfort, get him a kiddie phone -- one that you put in what numbers he can call. Let him contact his buds some other way. Quit paying for non-necessities!!!! He doesn't need a car, a phone, nice clothes. For now, he needs a roof over his head, food in belly and clothes on his back. Goodwill clothes are just as good as Tommy clothes. You have two months to show him what his life will be like if he does not have family support. It is time to quit talking and start moving. Clean out his room. A mattress on the floor is really okay. He doesn't need a tv, puter, games, nice clothes, cool shoes, hair gel. Unless he paid for them with money that he earned or were given as a gift, they are your property. Take them back. He's not home for family meals? Fine, he can scrounge food from his posse. He can take public transportation to work or maybe he can buy a used bike with his next paycheck. It really is time to quit making excuses and walk the walk. Skip the talking. As Nike says, JUST DO IT! [/QUOTE]
