[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 12279, member: 2389"] Kathy~ I know that none of us(husband,me,or easy child) can live like that anymore. We would all be getting along great and on our schedules and difficult child would come home and turn everything inside out. There was always a different "air" in the house when he was home. I believe it is best described as "the walking on eggshells" as I have read in other post. None of us deserve to live in the chaos, especially easy child. Most of my decisions I have made are due inpart to easy child's right to live in a safe home. It is hard to say but, We all would breathe a sigh of relief when difficult child left. I know that sounds horrible coming from his own mom, But I have tried everything in my power to help him, to get him to see the destruction he is doing to his on life. He thinks he is outsmarting everyone and getting away with whatever he wishes to do. At least now he knows that he will no longer get away with it in our home. Hopefully, the other people he is finding to live with will get tired of his actions as well. I know that as long as he finds someone to put up with him he will continue to use drugs and live as he living. My mom is having a hard time with his age (18) my brother was 28 when she finally had enough and threw him out for good. My only response was that maybe he would hit bottom sooner and be able to straighten himself out before he reached age 28. She also worries that he has no transportation. I reminded her that his girlfriend allowed him to drive her car whenever he wanted to. I guess my strongest supporter is having different thoughts (which is making it a little more difficult on my part) She just says it is different when it is a grandchild. I have started to just be selective in our topics of conversation. She still ask me daily if I have heard from him, and I keep reminding her that I am not going to hear from him. I did share about his room, she was very against touching anything. I again said he is not coming back. She just keeps saying but he is only 18. Okay, I have let her get to me [img]:frown:[/img]Please share your thoughts about his age. [/QUOTE]
