I know it can be really confusing, but there's only so much you can
do. You can let him know you're there if he wants to talk to you, but
you can't force it. You can show him by example the right way to
live, but you can't make him follow it.
His choices are his. You can hope and pray with all you have and all
you are that he'll make the right decisions, but you can't force it.
My son was a piece of cake to raise. He's 17, responsible, has a full-
time job, is paying his own bills, is saving money for college and to
buy his own house.
My SS was hard as hell. He's 20, has been in all sorts of trouble -
the kind that can get you killed or jailed, he thinks we don't know
about any of the stuff he's done, he doesn't like having to pay his
own bills, and he's now about to head to Iraq. (I'm giving the light
version here.)
My younger SD is 18 and somewhere in-between. She wants to be as
responsible as my son, but she has tendencies to be more like her
older brother. You can see her struggling between the two. We're now
on Day 2 of her being not only civil with me, but about her wanting to
get herself to a point where she can achieve her life goals, which are
very good goals.
We'll see how it goes. And so will you. Just keep hanging in there.
