Is it morally right for us to kick our 19 yo son out of the house?

[QUOTE="Kittycat, post: 576517, member: 15825"] Thank you all for your continuing advice and support. I appreciate it very much. Something good happened last night. Our son's computer monitor will not respond to his computer. It is broken. He expects us to pay for the repair (probably a new motherboard is needed). We are not going to do that. If he wants his computer to work, he'll have to get a job so he can get it repaired. We have 31 days left before he moves out. He has told his siblings that he does not intend to get a job, and that he does believe we really mean it when we say he'll have to move out. For me, this does not compute. My mother came riding to the rescue (in a tough love sort of way, though), but he doesn't want to live with her. He cancelled his first therapy appointment, which I expected. He made another appointment for this week. Don't know whether he'll go or not. He took the trash out to the curb this morning. He made a scrambled egg for the dog. He sleeps all day and evening, and stays up the rest of the time. He claims his insomnia is caused by his depression. The time or two we see him briefly each day, he is courteous. This is like waiting for the other shoe to drop. I have no idea what he has in mind or really, what he is actually thinking and feeling. Thank you again for your help and support. You all are a wonderful, welcoming, and friendly group. [/QUOTE]
