It definitely stinks! I suggested to one friend that we find a mentor for her 26 yr old son just for these things. Then I suggested, after checking around the community, that we ancient friends step in and each take certain days of the month when we will be checking in with him through phone calls, email, etc. to remind him that he belongs to a community who is concerned about him, cares about him, and will help him keep on a good path. I thought of this after reading about how many adults need to be in a young child's life to make him or her more likely to stay straight and succeed as an adult. Everyone agreed to do it but she has yet to set up a meeting-gathering with him and her community where we can tell him what we are up to and how much he matters to us.
Point of this is - how about other adults in his life stepping up to the plate and talking with him about his decisions?
