[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 487762"] Dreamcycle, Your requests sound very reasonable and appropriate. Would he consent to family therapy? What about private counseling? (Possibly both) Being harassed, verbally abused and intimdiated is NOT acceptable...by anyone and certainly NOT by a family member. Too bad, so sad that he feels entitled to specialized treatment. He is fortunate to have caring parents who are providing him an education and free room and rent. Again, your boundaries and requirements are reasonable. If he is so down on the community college and honestly feels it isn't challenging enough, would he agree to get all A's and B's for one year, and demonstrate appropriate and non abusive behaviors at home, in exchange for you sending him to a University after the year is over? My guess is there is a lot more going on here. Again, family counseling might be good avenue to explore these difficulties. I say stick to your guns. It's very important that you and your husband do not lose your temper. Instead, just stick to your guidelines, but also consider setting up LIMITS of some kind. If he continually breaks the rules and refuses counseling, you might have to consider asking him to live elsewhere until he has time to think/rethink his priorities and choices. [/QUOTE]
