[QUOTE="BKS, post: 557031, member: 15374"] Hi Elizabrary, I just posted my first post last Friday and am greatly relieved to find this group. Welcome. We wrote a contract with my son over a year ago specifying exactly what was expected of him to live here and we included a list at the end of the things we were paying for (to give him an idea of what life REALLY cost). I applaud that you got this to work for you. We didn't and I am sure it is because we did not push our son hard enough (but who knows). And no, we do not like our son very much either lately. Hard to say but it is the truth. He is arrogant, angry, defiant, and constantly lies about even the most mundane things. I realize now he has been hiding drug use and drinking for many years while I kept believing him when he declared 'no way he would do alcohol or drugs' to my direct questions. He kept saying we were so lucky he wasn't one of the kids at school who went to parties and got completely wasted. Little did we know he was doing this at home. I look at him sometimes and wonder who he is? I guess our children can be ugly and unlikable to the ones they know will always love them - through thick and thin. My prayers go out to you.
