[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 727824, member: 1967"] Hello and welcome. While 18 is very young, if he is working a full time job he should be able to live on his own and function as an adult. Remember that 18-year-olds have served in the military and fought and died for our country. He is not a child. If your son refuses to follow your rules of no drugs in the house, he should find a new place to live. Period. Then it is time for him to learn from the school of hard knocks. The truth of the matter is that you can't control him or his behavior. The only thing that you can control is your reaction to his behavior. Have you tried therapy or support groups? Many of us have found that we needed outside support to learn to set boundaries and stay firm. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
