[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 524911, member: 1514"] Hi Grits. I am am so sorry you are stuck alone in such a remote area with a pain in the rear young adult he child. He is one of those adult kids who seem to want to be stuck somewhere between adulthood and childhood and refuse to grow up because he feels he has you over the proverbial barrel. Not sure what the age is in Alaska for booting a kid out but I feel your pain because your husband isnt on your same page. I dont think you should burden your husband while he is on a dangerous mission. I think you need to take care of things alone because you dont want something to happen to your hubby. It wont be easy. Best thing would be if you could get son to move away, far away. Is there anyway you can motivate your son to get a job? Take away everything that he wants in the house that would entice him to stay. No TV in living room, no internet for the whole house, keep no snack foods available to him, take away all video games, dont let him use your car, take away his cell phone if its on your plan. You get the idea. Make it miserable for him to be at home. You can make it so that everything is in your room only. That hopefully will make it less desirable for him to be there. As far as him stealing your medicines? Well many of us have been through that and we have had to resort to buying a safe and putting them in that safe while they are in the home. Or putting deadbolts on the bedroom doors and walking around with a set of keys around our necks constantly. That couldnt work for me though because I lived in a trailer and the doors were too thin to hold a deadbolt. I opted for the safe and deadbolted it to a shelf so it couldnt be removed. Mine was a combination safe so I didnt have to worry about a key. I got mine at walmart for about 65 bucks 7 years ago. The good news is I dont need it now. [/QUOTE]
