[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 619139, member: 14557"] Unfortunately your daughter is right. There is nothing you can do. At least till he wants to do things differently on himself. He very well might some day. I have known quite a few people who have done about the same your son is doing. Most, especially those with university degrees or strong socio-economic backgrounds, have decided to do so in some point. Many have been very successful in doing so. For example one of the most financially successful person from my High School class (it was kind of elite school, most have done very well in life) spent half a decade hoboing in Goa (I'm from northern Europe, hoboing around here is not so much fun, too much snow half a year, not much sun.) However there is very little you can do to speed up that process or even ensure it happens. He does know how to get help to get back to organized society, if he wants it. By the way, against what MWM said half of our eco-warrior types tend to be very straight edge, no alcohol, drugs or tobacco. Other half does pot, but only self grown and organic and maybe some mushrooms, so not buying drugs at all. [/QUOTE]
