[QUOTE="Biscuit, post: 682010, member: 20143"] Hello, Thanks for your support. As you said, it's a good thing the mother and the father are aware and agree on the situation. We organized a "meeting" with parents + step-parents (including step-mom) this weekend after discovering new things. Basically, we all share the same views on the situation. The adult child is still trying or believing he can fool us. He lied a lot about going to sleepovers, we found a lot of disturbing content about his parties. The kid is totally disconnected from the reality at the moment. His father thinks he is smoking weed on days before school and at school as all his friends are heavy stoners. That could explain some things. He basically said that he does not want to study and not want to work. He said it without any anger or any provocation, just like it was normal. He has no interests anymore : he used to watch TV, play console, be good at sports, interested in shopping. Now, the only thing that matters is going out. His results at school are terrible. He is in bottom 3 of his class. He does not care at all about his post-graduate future and does not want to complete his college application. His parents proposed him three different jobs for the summer, including a dream job for a youngster, at an ocean club, working day and partying night, he just said "no no, I won't work this summer". No one is giving him money anymore so basically he will soon run out of cash, and he just asked his father some money for him to take vacations in summer. We were shocked. Like, how can he even believe he will get money for that. So, parents decided that if he does not graduate, he will probably be kicked out of the house and sent into a country high school. I really don't understand. His parents even proposed to him to do a seasonal touristic job at mountains the winter + work at summer for a year, but he also said he does not want to work. I have known a lot of friends in trouble at this age, etc... But I never heard such a speech. He simply decided to do nothing of his future. [/QUOTE]
