> Do I let him or do I continue to do the "you are on your own" parenting? Before jail, he was basically living on the street, literally sleeping on friends patios, he was kicked out of college, kicked out of his sisters apartment, etc.How do I support him now?

~ ~ ~ ~ Dear KamsMom, I would strongly urge you to give him a chance for a new start. You can always do the "you are on your own" thing again if he messes up again. Looking back on my long hard journey with my 24 year old son, there are a few things I wish I had done differently. They involved taking a less rigid stand in certain situations. It's VERY hard to look back & wish I took a less rigid stand. I will never know how it might have changed his life.

Please feel free to Babblemail me. I will give you whatever support I can.

Many warm, empathetic thoughts, Kath
