Let's go racing boys !
There is a mom who is seeking advice on what to do with her 19 year old son. He constantly lies to his mom about everything. He has only worked for 2 months since graduation from high school last year. He comes home at 5-6AM after being out all night with friends and sleeps all day. Only to get up shower and leave again. He never participates in family functions or doesn't even eat a meal with the family anymore.
His mom has proof to sustain the fact that he is doing drugs, even shooting up now. She has had to ask him to leave several times only to have him show up with the "I'm wanting to change" story. His mom has been paying his car insurance all this time and feels that she is unable to continue "keeping him".
She feels so sorry for him and always keeps seeing him as that little boy she once knew. I tell her he is not that little boy, but should be a man trying to stand on his own 2 feet and have some goal in mind for his life.
She wants to know if she should just kick him out since she has a 16 year old daughter in the house and is concerned about the amount of friends that the son brings home. Sometimes his friends are wondering around the house in the early morining hours while her son is passed out. What would you suggest she do, should she kick him out because the only way she can help him is if he really wants the help.
She has asked him not to bring people home with him but he pays no attention, his room is never clean. He has even sold the electronic gifts that were presents in order to support his habit, plus there is other things missing, his mom's jewelry, money from her emergency cookie jar. Even to the point of taking his sister's money from her room. Would it make this woman a bad mom if she kick's him out? I tell her she's not doing him any favors by letting him get by with this. Please give us some advice here, the mom is about to lose her mind over this....Thanks
