[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 690971, member: 1550"] So true, COM. I see over and over again on this board that until we stop the "helping out" with money, groceries, housing, they don't change. I am convinced that continuing to support them in any way, other than emotionally, is the death of them ever being self sufficient. You can give a fortune to these adult kids and the money will be blown in a month and they still won't have a job, goals or quit the drug of choice. They will be back like Oliver twist. "Please, sir, I want some more." Most of our difficult loved ones who start to become independent and responsible have to have that support and help rug pulled from under them. COM, I have admiration for you and continue to cheer on your growing son. Something finally went off in his brain to bring him to adulthood. And I know it was not you helping him!!! Kudos! [/QUOTE]
