[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son failed to graduate this year. He has a huge gambling addiction and god knows what other issues. He has lied consistently so I don't know the full extent of what is happening. We have asked him to get help and have offered help on condition that he gets his life together but every time we throw a lifeline he violates it (most recently stealing from us). He is an adult so I don't know where to start and what boundaries to set.[/quote] You can't do much but stop giving money to support his addictions. Get him in therapy or have someone he respects to intervene and take him for a lunch or hike to have a heart to heart discussion about the problem, consequences of that problem on his future and a dire need to explore the solutions.[/quote]
