You may not want or need any comments, Sweety, but you're going to get some from me.

FIRST OF ALL, you CANNOT be responsible for what your son does at his age!

SECOND, what he is doing is HIS responsibility, HIS consequences. It has NOTHING to do with you as his mother. You did the best you could when you were raising him, now it's ALL UP TO HIM to use what he was supposed to have learned. If he didn't, or chose to cast it aside, it's on HIM.

This is a lesson I'm still in the process of learning. My kids didn't turn out to be what I taught them to be. We don't have the close knit family that I thought I had taught them to be. They've all CHOSEN their own path. It hurts, but hey! It's THEIR choice. THEY have to live with it.

Take some deep breaths and detach yourself emotionally from this situation. You said the right things to him concerning it... but NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE! I understand only too well, though.
