[QUOTE="witzend, post: 435784, member: 99"] I'm glad you told him "no", it was the right thing to do. If you are worried that you did the wrong thing, that is something you may want to talk to a therapist about how you feel. Your son has made choices that have 1) left him looking for a place to stay and 2) left you not wanting him to live in your home. You're the homeowner/lessee, and you get to decide who does and does not live in your home. You have a responsibility to your other children and you have lived up to it. You should be proud. To me, the thing that you should be exploring is why you feel badly about making a good decision for your family. It sounds as though you have been bullied in the past, and you aren't quite used to standing up for yourself. Be strong. Edited to add: Just seeing the stuff about a suicide threat if you don't take him home. He's a real piece of work, isn't he? You've been given good advice on that count. The next time he says it, call 911. A 72 hour hold might be just what he needs to get on the right path. Honestly, quoting the bible at you while threatening suicide sounds like he has some serious issues. The last I heard, God was against it. [/QUOTE]
