[QUOTE="startingfresh, post: 750235, member: 22380"] Thank you RN and Crayola for the feedback. It is not fun for any of us to live here together and for all of our sakes he needs to move out! I remember the years of coming home from college and having to follow my parents rules and counting the days until I could go back. Its not even so much the education that my son is missing by not going to college but the transition into being independent with supports. I have dreamed of a similar type program that focuses more on life skills and boundaries that would help him in so many ways. I am that person now and it is NOT a good match. Its unnatural for your mom to be mothering you at 20. And I end up having to back off things so we are not fighting constantly but its not right. Because we deserve for our things not to be touched, rooms where we all relax not to be filled with old food and mess. etc, you get the idea. We work really hard to have our home and as we all have said its our sanctuary and should be peaceful. Yet, he isn't using drugs or doing anything that would honestly merit kicking him out. He just needs a place to go that would help push him along. I was watching Queer Eye on Netflix and they had an 18 year old who had been homeschooled and they helped him to get ready for his next step. That is what my son needs!!!! if only!!! [/QUOTE]
