[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 703238, member: 15801"] Hi Khris..... I would pack up his stuff and maybe meet him somewhere when he wants it. I would not have him come to the house. Also a piece of advice i got when we kicked my son out is to keep the communication door open.... text him now and then to let him know you love him... but don't invite him back. Dont engage with him if he gets nasty but continue to let him know you care about him. We did this with my son....and when he got in real trouble he would call us. Many years have passed and lots of rehabs and homelessness etc. He is now 25 and that sense of entitlement is gone and the one thing he knows is that we love him. He is actually back at home now for the first time in 7 years. But I am very glad we kept letting hi m know we loved him even as we let him live on the streets. Also your teen daughters probably were a lot more clued in than you realized. I also had a teen daughter when we kicked my son out and we had to protect her from all his terrible behavior. She still wants nothing to do with him but is no longer living at home which is why at this point we let him come back. Good luck in this journey. [/QUOTE]
