[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 684923, member: 15832"] The lack of ambition, the lack of motivation, the passivity. He's content, it seems,to exists in this bubble where he goes to work, goes to therapy, does what is required of him at the house, and takes care of himself. He doesn't try to apply for a better job or read up on careers so he could actually be independent and self supporting. He doesn't try to make new friends (social anxiety....he's working on it.) And this trying to get away with stuff and staying under the radar, giving an appearance of being compliant, while not really being compliant. For example, we told him no more money, so he gets a credit card and runs up a 3500 $ balance. He lives in a sober house, so he starts taking kratom, which can't be detected by testing and is legal. (He had to go to the hospital to detox off the stuff. He's been off it since Ocober. If he starts back, he could die from seretonin syndrome. Good deterrent.) He's 5 or 10 minutes late for work about half the time(I checked his bus record a couple of times). Fortunately things are trending upwards as he has been honest and forthcoming. He has paid off a good portion of the debt. He's doing better, but these things really bother us. Everything's a process, I guess. [/QUOTE]
