My daughter is a 48 yr old single mum with 2 unpleasant failed relationships. She has 3 children . . 2 girls and a 21 year old son. The girls are ok .but the son is in a cannabis generated downward spiral. He had driving lessons but 2 instructors gave up on him as he argued too much. He has not pursued driving tho he passed his provisional test at the 5th attempt. He was asked to leave the list for the doctors practice as he repeatedly failed to turn up to appointments. He has not worked since leaving college at 18 where he did complete a sound engineering course....he was planning to take this to a higher level but has procrastinated for 2 academic years . As a consequence his life has no direction ..any job he does get lasts less than a week as his timekeeping is poor. There is no father around and the only wise male in his life is too old to be effective despite loving his grandson deeply. This young man has gradually alienated himself from his friends who have all matured and knuckled down to working etc . He spends all day in his room smoking weed and mixing music . When he interacts with his mother and sisters he is either pleasant or horribly aggressive brandishing the c word to his oldest sister and talking cannabis induced rubbish. He does not accept that he has a problem ...so ...help!
