[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 517700, member: 1550"] My best guess is that he's using more than pot and is stealing to buy drugs. He has that "I don't care a _____" personality of a drug user too. Your son isn't a little boy anymore. I would give him three months to find a job and a place to stay and then make him leave at that time, whether he did it or not. You are not helping him by giving him comfort, food, and a warm bed while he steals and does whatever else he does on the streets. I know it's a hard thing to do because I had to tell my daughter to leave when we came home early from a short vacation and found her having a drug party in our house (this was after many, many warnings and her promise that she was now clean). She DID quit using drugs and is doing really well now, but I'm not sure that would be the case if we hadn't made her leave... I agree that a CODA or Narc-Anon group would really, really, REALLY give you good support and ideas in this difficult time. Why not try a meeting and see? Big hugs and please keep us posted. We care.
