[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 150427, member: 3626"] Sounds kind of like my daughter but she would wear her welcome out quickly and never had anything lined up for when she was told to leave. A few times of this and mom finally saying no more to financing her return home and she finally got smart. So, it may take him a long time to hit bottom but unless he turns himself around, bottom he will hit -- sooner or later people figure out the truth and basically say you ain't family, there's the door. He really does sound a lot like mine -- not on drugs, just things age means entitlement and, of course, an absolute refusal to be responsible. Remember, my daughter cycled through the house and friends off and on for 3 years. This time around, she moved out of the house the right way -- got a good roommate (steady, dependable, quiet), signed a lease, is working full time. As strange as it sounds, I truly think your son will do the same thing. It just takes the being truly homeless for a few days or more to get the message across that this is not the way to live. The one thing you may have to do (I did) was let him know that he was loved and welcome to come home when he was truly ready to follow the rules (and don't kick yourself if you let him in and he goes back to old ways very quickly ... it's a large learning curve).
