[QUOTE="Lil, post: 692460, member: 17309"] I'm not sure what else we can do short of simply no longer pussy-footing around the whole subject. He won't admit to even needing therapy, I can imaging his reaction if we suggest an actual neurological problem. But maybe it's come to that. Maybe we have to sit him down and say, "Look. We want to help. We don't want you homeless; we want your success. But we feel you are stabbing yourself in the foot by constantly hanging with these losers you don't even like and refusing to stop smoking pot because you think it makes you happy and refusing to just...try things our way. Maybe it's not your fault you have problems making friends? Maybe it's not your fault you are so unhappy? Maybe it's not your fault you're afraid of trying to be on your own? So, if you want to stay here, our conditions are: 1. You go have an actual evaluation by a psychologist to see if you have something that makes you different, like ADD or Aspergers. And if you do then you learn coping skills to stop the tantrums and become a more confident and well-rounded person..." If he agrees to term #1, then more follow...but #1 gets him some help. Or he says F-U and walks out the door. Oh! I laughed out loud so hard at that! You have no idea how funny the though of MY son doing farm chores is. OMG! Really, I'm practically in stitches! He'd die...honestly, I think he'd rather DIE than accidently step in cow poo! Working on a farm would be his idea of Hell. Truly! :roflmao: [/QUOTE]
