[QUOTE="Steely, post: 407607, member: 3301"] Yes, I agree with the others. At 19, he is out, and you have to start letting go. It is so hard to let go - SO hard - but you just have to put up a mental wall and refuse to get sucked up into his manipulations. Refuse to talk to him, and hang up if he calls disrespectful, don't let him in your house if he is rude, so on and so forth. Does he have any mental illnesses that could be contributing to this? Or is he just being a defiant teen? We also have to other forums on this board, Parent Emeritus that offers great help with over 18 kids, and the Drug and Alcohol section that might help you as well.
