[QUOTE="rebelson, post: 686974, member: 19966"] He sounds a LOT like my 23yo son. No foresight, expect to be rescued, know exactly how to lay guilt and manipulate. His behavior during school breaks at your house, also super familiar! Girls in room, loud music, up into wee hours, etc. Walking on eggshells and waiting for a drunken rant, temper tantrum. Please. Hold firm! He will never learn if you keep rescuing him. And the message he will get is that 'it's OK to wait until the last minute and have no plan.. My parents will rescue me.' It is so hard! I know. My son is in residential treatment right now, & the peaceful break from worrying and stress is so appreciated. And needed. Put yourself first, your other boys do not need the chaos. But, primarily, your son will not learn anything if allowed back. I have a lot to learn, but this I know. Hugs! [emoji4] [/QUOTE]
