[QUOTE="1905, post: 620297, member: 2668"] Don't get him an apartment, then he will have no reason to behave any differently. His behavior will not change, he has no reason in the world to change, he loves treating you like this, it's fun and rewarding to him. It's extra fun seeing you upset. You and your wife have to take action to remove him from your life, not forever, but for a long enough time for him to get himself together. This will go on for years unless you do the hardest thing ever. We got a restraining order against our son, he stole, broke things,...you are most likely living our story. He will be on the street, maybe he stays with a friend, gets a job, comes to a realization on his own that he has to man up and take responsibility for himself because NO ONE else will. Ok? And then don't do anything for him. And that means anything. Let him see for himself, our kids here have to learn the hard way. They have to learn by seeing what they don't want in life. I mean, some learn they don't want to go to jail by actually going to jail first. Your son can see how rough life is by having to experience it from the ground up. Right now, in your house, he's on third base and thinks he hit a triple. He didn't earn the privilege. [/QUOTE]
