[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 433729"] Your son's calmness is very striking, as it's SO outside the norm in this situation. I suppose the presence of the cop (an excellent call on your part) curbed what might have happened. Still, it strikes me as the calm before the storm, and I suspect you're right that he expects this to be a brief ouster which you'll retract in short order. The next month should be interesting. One thing I've noticed about late-teen (18 or over) difficult children being shown out of the house is that they never really believe it'll last, and they fully expect to return and resume their former reign of theft/terror as if somehow it's their entitlement to live at home as long as they like, which is usually a lifetime. Keep an eye out for possible vengeful behaviors on his part. His calmness worries me--like he's expecting the last laugh. Despite what others have said here, I regard the diagnosis of ASPD as a really serious, unignorable fact: such people are very vengeful and hold grudges hard and long, and can't bear to just "take it" without getting some sort of satisfaction in reply. Be alert. [/QUOTE]
