Well, is there any one you can send him to yourself? Can you get him to see a doctor, even a regular one?

The college may find that he is not mentally able, as far as a mental illness kind of thing to be able to successfully keep attending college, and may try to help him get help.

You could contact the college and ask them, or you could even call your own doctor and ask for advice about what to do.

I dont mean this mean, but maybe he is on drugs or something--to me, that should be why you would send him to a medical doctor first to have him checked out and make sure.

Best,

hmmmm...what kind f history do you have with your son? I think that's the first thing that needs to be adressed...because ur simply describing one side of a story without providing facts. Not that am trying to say it could be your fault, but parents tend to get caught up in the 'i'm doing what i think is right' thinking...without trying to figure out what their child needs.

If he says he need some space....then give it to him....but within boundaries. If you need help with the rent and he's working but not contributing....then am sure you can find a creative way to 'punish' him. Either cut back on some luxury he enjoys now or something...internet, tv, something...tell him you can't afford to pay it...see if he doesn't choke up the money for his comfort.

The spending money on friends thing cannot be compared to him not helping you with the rent. He's simply trying to fit in and doing it te best wa he knows how. If that is the case....he probabaly has low self esteem, and thinks that he need ppl to 'like' him.

He needs to see a counselor...if you can't afford one, find someone who he relates to well, a family member or something.

Trying to talk to him will be a waste....he probably thinks you don;t understand what he' going through.

another note on the way he talks to you....you should not a llow YOUR CHILD who YOU are financially responsible for, talk to you like that....like I said....punish him....he also needs to have respect for you...that is probably the biggest problem you have right now.
