[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 587612, member: 1967"] Hello and welcome to our little corner of the CD board. I'm sorry that you had to find us but glad you did. From my experience, 17 is the worst possible age. Too old to make them do anything but not old enough to legally kick them out. Is he violent or abusive? If not, I guess you are at the point where you have to let him just start suffering the consequences of this actions. I also wouldn't give him any money at all or pay any bills for things like a cell phone or car insurance. If he is violent or abusive, that is another whole story. I would call the police each and every time he is abusive, threatening, or verbally abusive and press charges. One more thing . . . is he driving your car? If so, stop letting him use the car. You don't want to be legally liable if he has an accident while drunk or high. Others will come along with more support and advice. Things are a little slow since it is a holiday weekend. Hang in there and keep posting. We've been through this and will be here to listen and offer advice. Of course, as with any advice, take what helps and leave the rest. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
