[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 458980, member: 1157"] It does sound like it might be time to push him out the door. At this point, since there have been no hard consequences for his actions, he has no reason to stop his behavior. Did you press charges for the credit card theft? If not, I suggest you seriously consider doing so if it happens again. If he is smoking hookah in your home and you've forbidden it, I suggest that you tell him to remove it from his room and your house, or remove it yourself. Search his room and dispose of any illegal substances you find. You have every right to do that. Tough love is not easy on anyone.. but I really believe it's the only choice sometimes. One thing about difficult children, they tend to be very resilient. He may tell you he'll be "on the street" if you kick him out, but I'd bet that he'll find a place to stay pretty quickly. You might want to get involved in a group such as Al-Anon, Nar-Anon, or Families Anonymous, they can be invaluable while you're going through this. [/QUOTE]
