[QUOTE="Blindsided, post: 752515, member: 23811"] Welcome to the group. You will find varying thoughts here, but in the end, it's up to each of us to decide what points fit best in our situation, which can change over night. Obviously, this is very concerning for you. I too will assume your son is an adult, in which case he should be on his own. The rights afforded adults is our right to privacy. That said, adult responsibilities include living independently. If your son is in transition from adolescent to young adult, there are behaviors that send up a red flag, such as those that concern you. You are right to get started on this now. Maybe inspect what you are doing, because that's the only thing you can control. Is what you are doing or allowing... helping your son get a foothold on his life path, or enabling him to continue in behaviors that keep him stuck? It can be a scarey time in life or one the person couldnt wait for. If I had it to do over again, I would make getting help a provision in my daughter returning to live at home as an adult. I would stick to the rules, which admittedly I failed to be consistent with. I would let her fully experience the consequences of her actions. Copa's thoughts are parallel with mine. Again, welcome. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
