[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 764294, member: 4152"] These were things that stood out in your posts to me as concerning...each one followed by the other in subsequent posts.... "and has decided to give up." "son has been home for about 6 months. He's started drinking and weed again." " 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." But, I do appreciate and totally understand that you seem to be trying to focus on some positives and that includes a girlfriend trying to guide him and this: "He sees a counsellor every 2 weeks and his probation officer 1/month, maybe something will click with him." Over the many years with our daughter, we have found that if more than one person tells her the same thing...gives the same piece of advice, perhaps worded a little differently, it's a little more likely to stick. A girlfriend is probably a particularly strong influence. Also, I have found that most of my friends and relatives had difficulty relating / comprehending the situation with our daughter. BUT, those who interacted with her for more than brief periods of time, eventually had a better understanding. Be careful to set boundaries within your household...good for you and good for him too.
