[QUOTE="Lulu348, post: 697620, member: 20676"] Thank you both so very much for your understanding and advice. He's a nice person, but difficult in many ways. He doesn't like confrontation, so he just will lie and be sneaky to get his way. He used to sneak out of the house in high school. It breaks our hearts the thought of having to lock him out of the house, and husband has a tendency to buckle when push comes to shove, so I will have to be the drill Sargent with this. I will tell husband he has a choice. To not let him live with us after college, or accept the fact that his wishes will be flipped off and he will be lied to...and I can't live with the latter. He can still come over, eat, sleep whatever he wants when we are here....but he has to have his own place. husband and I need to talk when we are not tired during the week and formulate a discussion with him, so this doesn't result in a crevice between us. I want him to know how loved he is and want him here as much as he can be...but he is at the age where he wants his life to be a certain way, and we want ours a certain way...so we just can't live together anymore. I don't want this to seem like a punishment, but more of a stage of adult life we all have to go through. I do need to mention his lying though, as I think it's effecting other relationships he might have. Any other suggestion? I will be getting a hold of a locksmith this week. [/QUOTE]
