[QUOTE="vligrl, post: 517933, member: 14003"] When he came home he admitted missing Community Service and said he did today because a friend who has emotional issues needed help. My son has always been there for everyone but himself. Just point blank asked him why he keeps sabatoging himself, I don't get it. Talked for awhile about that and considering how mad I was by the time he came home it's a wonder I calmed down enough to have a civil conversation. Bottom line for him is he hates being this way, doesn't know why when he has good intentions like doing his laundry or cleaning his room, that he doesn't follow through...as most things. I told him since he thinks his parent's don't know anything and whatever his friends tell him isn't sinking in, that he should go to a professional to talk to and find a way to create new habits and get to the bottom of why he can't seem to move forward. He agreed and he wants to try the Wellbutrin he was prescribed before but never gave it a chance. He is ADHD and was told he was depressed in the past so maybe this will balance him out a bit as it does for me. He is very anxious to get out of this area, have a fresh start in the city with his best friend assuming his friend is accepted to BU, go to school part time so he can make enough money to support himself with roomates.
