How to get him to stop
I have a 24 year old son, he was an honor student untill the 12th grade when I finnally noticed there was a problem. I did not know the extent at the time but know 7 years later and after trying everything I could to help him, he is back in jail for breaking the frontglass of a skateboard shop to try and steal whatever he could to buy drugs. this will be his 5th or sixth arrest and he has spent around 3-4 years incarserated for drugs and theft.
This time he lasted only 6 months on probartion and I thought he was doing good, he held down a job, his employer loves him because he does have a great personallity when he is clean. Everyone who knows him triedto help him do good this time and he failed us all. It's almost like he cannot break the behavoir cycle. As soon as we all start to give him privilages in our life, he does something wacked out like this that makes me question, Does he have a mental problem? or do the drugs just make you stupid.
Well, I quess he will get another 2-5 years this time and then another chance to redeem himself. He will fail again unless I can somehow get thru that he needs God in his life. It doesn't hurt as much this time, I quess we eventually become numb in the heart, but I still belive he can change and I'm glad he is where he can't get heroin and hurt himself more with his addition. I don't even know if when he goes back to Jessup MD prision if they even have programs to help him. I really feel like I lost.
