[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 704095, member: 15032"] All great advice. The bottom line for me was: I do not want my son living in my home to DEFINE ME or MY life. That is what happened to us. Everything revolving around HIM. What he's doing. What he's NOT doing. Is he going to follow the rules? Is he not going to follow the rules? When's the other shoe going to drop?? I could not live like that any longer. I don't think we were doing our son any favors by letting him live like that either. There was NO GROWTH. They won't ever see themselves as adults if WE DO NOT see them as adults. How can they? We have pushed and pushed and will continue to push him. It's not easy. I hope your son does what he needs to do so you can keep him in your home. We would have done it that way too but it just was not possible in our case and before you know it years have gone by.....
