[QUOTE="lovemyson1, post: 687924, member: 16643"] I'm sorry for what you're going through but from reading your previous post, i was totally getting the "entitlement" attitude from him. My son was like that before. Until he realizes he is "lucky" to be where he is and to have supportive parents and a chance to change his life, he most likely won't change. Sounds like he's just doing his time. He needs to be grateful he's safe and has every opportunity to better himself. What worked for us is to to tell our son, "you're not coming back home no matter what. You need to figure out where you're going when you leave the men's home." He understand that now and appreciates any little thing we do for him. He knows that it's his life he has to figure it all out. We are here to help him with advice, etc. but he's ready to put his big boy pants on finally. You seem to know what to do, stay strong!! [/QUOTE]
