I have seen so many of these stories play out with friends, relatives, etc. Sadly, most of them, with a few exceptions, ended poorly. My girlfriend's youngest son was a hell raiser that would disappear for months on end. Went to prison for a few years on drug charges at a very young age. When he got out she set him up with everything he needed to succeed. He went right back to the same old crowd. Rarely held a job for more than a few weeks. He eventually got clean for a few years in his late 30s. Went to see an old friend and they got high on heroin.....he died. That takes a hell of a toll on a mother!
