[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 382227, member: 1233"] At some point he is going to need some tough consequences to make him not want to do such idiotic things. It took my older bro until he was in his 30's and in jail enduring alcohol withdrawal and then looking at all the other men in there for problems that happened because they were drunk to decide he wanted to change. He did some truly AWFUL things, things that many people then and now do not believe he could or would do, before he wise up even that much. I hope your son wises up and figures out that he wants something out of life that what he is doing will keep him from having/achieving. I wish I knew how to get through to our young men. So many of them are in the place your son is in, with trouble piling up fast that it will likely take them years to get past. Do what you can live with. I do NOT recommend bailing him out of jail. EVER. Or going after him in the middle of the night anymore. If he is going to get himself into these things then he is going to need to figure out how to get himself out of them. Esp as drugs and alcohol seem to be playing a part in the things he does. [/QUOTE]
