[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 760471, member: 18958"] Hello Helpless I am sorry you're sad and that the merry-go-round keeps going round and round. Your son is very, very young. He is impulsive and he is headstrong. He does not think further than his nose. He seems like he's self-indulgent and a drama queen. On the other hand, he is a very, very lucky young man, for how capable he is, how much people want to help him, and how he lands on his feet. I will tell you what I think. He's playing with real fire, with the pills, cocaine, and alcohol. I think you're right. All of these opportunities and skills and qualities count for not much if he's an addict, and so very immature. As far as losing the family who's helping him, due to his bad behavior. Of course, he's going to ruin it, if he keeps on this way. Who in their right mind would take such a chance repeatedly with somebody as erratic as your son. They would have to be nuts, or maybe, you don't know everything about them, and they have problems too. It sounds like the move an hour away is just the right thing for both you and for your son. He needs distance from you. He needs the consequences of his actions. He needs to be away from the family. That's what I think. Whatever happened to the gang ties? You're not afraid anymore that the gang is after him? To me, the main events in your son's life are the drugs, the crazy, erratic, self-destructive behavior, and his involvement with gangs, and weapons. If he keeps this up it's a matter of time until he's incarcerated again, which wouldn't be the worst thing. He would be safer in jail, with a chance to get clean. As talented and capable as he is, he will always have opportunities, but right now he has real problems, that won't go away unless he dedicates himself to change. And it sounds like he's not interested. I am glad you posted an update helpless. It's good to hear from you. Please try not to worry so much. There is not one thing that I can think of, that you can d. [/QUOTE]
