[QUOTE="Andy, post: 560189, member: 5096"] Can you box up everything he does have left in your home? When he wants something, he can either take the boxes or go through them outside in the yard/driveway or garage? my diva got ugly in her late teens. I finally turned my back on her and said, "You are not to ask anything from me until you can be nice for one week". It took up to one month or longer for that to happen. Everytime she faltered, we would start over. I remember doing this atleast 2 times. I was always very calm in telling her that when she started to be nasty. It is hard to change how we relate to our kids. How we react is often a habit that both our kids and us have fallen into. Although horrid and hurtful, it is still what we do over and over because it is what we know. It is hard to redefine and put new boundaries into place but it can be done. Be strong and confident in proclaiming the new boundaries. Get husband on board and unite your efforts. Come up with a plan and if you need to put some new rules into writing to hand to difficult child go ahead. Include how he is allowed to get his stuff and times he is allowed to call. Disrespect will get an immediate hang up of kicked off the property. I would be tempted to tell him the boxes are on the side of the house. You have so many days to get them. [/QUOTE]
