[QUOTE="asldogs, post: 433727, member: 12055"] Well, it all went down quietly... no eruptions. All day was much easier than I ever anticipated. He quietly and slowly "packed" and went through his things deciding which to take with him and which to risk mom throwing out. I told him whatever he left behind I would decide whether to throw it out or store it in the garage loft. He asked me to save his electric guitar. I agreed. The police officer came over and talked with him about all the legalities of what he did and what he can not do once he moves out. Tried giving him a pep talk about being a man and being responsible. That little lecture went in one ear and out the other... even with mine. The cop was good, though. He was not overly macho strict but he was very direct about the laws for an 18 year old. My son walked out following the cop out the front door. he wasn't angry, no tears, just a calm controlled demeanor the whole time. I looked into his room and see he really didn't pack for permanency. I get the feeling he thinks this is just a 2 week vacation. I couldn't address his room today, yet. I am sad. I feel a loss. I do worry about future encounters. I left a note for 3 of the closest neighbors about what transpired today and asked them to call the police if they notice him returning trying to get in.
