[QUOTE="nvts, post: 407633, member: 3814"] Hi Ceecee! Welcome to our little corner of the internet. Here's the way I see it (your last post kind of "stood out" to me). There's a point in life where kids need to bug out and be responsible. In the last post you wrote "my son and I used to be so close". Well, he's a grown man now and making bad choices. You've done your job and from what you've said, you've done it well. He knows right from wrong, he knows he's pushing your buttons, and he knows that he's got you over a barrell. You need to trust in the fact that you did your best. You deserve better. Let him know that you love him and that you're sure that he'll do well on his own. If he wants to run the show, let him run his own show in his own apartment. Trust me: you'll be amazed at how quickly they learn to take the right path when they're simply acting like brats rather than having a mental issue. Once they realize that clothes, food, shelter, tv's, computers, cable, heat, hot water, food, laundry, food, cars, food, insurance, food and entertainment cost, (did I mention food - he is an 18 year old guy after all), it's amazing how "right" Mom was! Keep us up to date! Beth [/QUOTE]
