[QUOTE="Sherril2000, post: 659304, member: 18767"] My 18 year old son is still in jail & facing several years in prison now for robbery and probation violation. He calls me every night, & all he can talk about is coming home. I just don't understand him. Last time he got out, he was free exactly 8 days before he got in trouble again. I actually gave him money the day he got out of jail, which he agreed to pay back when he got a job. I gave him money so he wouldn't steal anything. I just don't get it. We have a beautiful home, he has his own room, nice clothes & shoes. He wasn't taking drugs (his drug tests were negative), so I can't blame it on that. He has everything he needs, but wants to live like a thug. I asked him why he continues to do these things & he said he doesn't know what is wrong with- him. He will be doing time & I am praying he stays out of trouble when he gets out. I just don't know how to help him. I spoke to our family counselor & told him I think my son has a lot of the characteristics of anti-social personality disorder. He said he doesn't think so, he believes my son is too kind hearted & is just struggling right now. I'm not looking to label him, just searching for the right "diagnosis" to try to find help for him.
