I’ve much sympathy with your position. We have one who’s kicked over the traces once too often and has been given the bum’s rush. An unhappy event but necessary for our own wellbeing. Parenthood can’t all be about sacrifice.
We had to do that with our youngest. He was sadly influenced by W's ex. But he came to his senses a few years later when Princess Di died he suddenly realised how short life can be, so came to see his mum, apologised, had obviously grown up a lot and realised how much she had done for him. He also started to get on with me OK. We now get on like a house on fire.
 
My next door neighbour over here, the landy nut, has apparently found a another landie nut who races Disco 3s. He told me the power he gets out of them. Apparently this guru guy knows exactly what to do about the dodgy cranks. So he and some younger relation of his are going to rebuild the engine in one, following said guru's advice.
I wished him well.
He is flogging some seriously OK landies in the meanwhile. Odd times!
