[QUOTE="FallingIn, post: 764259, member: 26369"] Well it's now fall and son has been home for about 6 months. He's started drinking and weed again. The weed I can tolerate, but the drinking is hard. He is also addicted to video games so he plays most of his time and when drunk gets really angry at the other people on the game, yells, and just becomes intolerable. So why don't I kick him out? Because once again I am trying to save him. He has a peace bond that ends May 2024. If he stays out of trouble until then, he won't have a criminal record. He doesn't work, he doesn't have a drivers license and his excuse for both is he is too anxious and "stupid" to do anything. The one positive is he has a girlfriend that keeps him a bit on the right road. This girlfriend has a full time job so I'm not sure how long she'll want to keep him around. Neither of them have any friends so it's just the 2 of them. She moved here recently as well and has not made any friends yet. Another positive is my son is now taking his antidepressants regularly and he says he's feeling much less depressed. So, I'm just here venting. I already know I won't kick him out as I want him to complete his peace bond. I will have to live with the consequences and I have no one else to talk to as I think my friends and family are done with it. I wish so much I could just detach from him. He is so immature and can't see past today. He sees a counsellor every 2 weeks and his probation officer 1/month, maybe something will click with him. [/QUOTE]
