[QUOTE="Suz, post: 276529, member: 29"] Okay, thanks for the details. I would try to talk to him about an "action plan" for his 18th birthday as you are pretty much stuck for now. When he's 18, if he's working and not going to school he can pay rent to you or he can find someplace else to live and pay rent there. Maybe you can get a rental agreement off the Internet to help you outline your expectations and to give him an idea of what to expect elsewhere if that's the avenue he takes. I would try to approach this in as positive an attitude as you can muster. Practice the sayings on the link I think I put on ML's thread. It's in the PE archives. You don't want to engage in an argument, you want to help him plan for his future. If that's not possible, put a countdown to his 18th birthday on your calendar, stock up on black garbage bags and print out a list of homeless shelters. Happy Birthday, Honey. ;) Suz [/QUOTE]
