[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 747128, member: 18516"] I've heard this same kind of stuff from my son and yet every time he finds a "new" location, the result is always the same. Bottom line, until our adult children start to own their poor choices nothing will ever change for them. It's much easier for them to blame us the parents, the city or town they live in, or their significant other, etc.........., than it is to own their poor choices and behavior. I always found it interesting how my son has no issues with stealing from other people and yet when someone steals from him, well, lets just say he has some very colorful language to describe the person. When this has happened and he's shared it with me, I have called him out on it and reminded him that he too has stolen from others. The response, "Why do you always have to throw my past in my face, I'm not like that anymore" and yet, he's been arrested so many times for theft. Like I said, until they dig deep within themselves and really see their role in the choices they have made and how that and only that has affected the outcome of how their lives have turned out, nothing will change for them.
