[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 103519, member: 2211"] I sent my then 17 year old to her dad's after a particularly heated fight that turned physical. She had graduated HS and was nearing her 18th and feeling a little 'BIG". She turned 18 while there and was begging to come home. I made her agree to certain conditions in order to come home. So far, pretty good, but I am fairly certain that she will be asked to leave soon. She sticks to the rules for the most part but she's also taking advantage of some situations, I know she's been smoking pot and she recently lost her job. She needs to do her personal chores, stay clean and work in order to live here. My only advice is that when you tell him he either had to follow house rules or leave, do not do it during a fight or argument. Say it when you're both calm so he sees that you didn't say it or mean it in anger or out of frustration. And then give him some options he may have and then stick with it. Hugs, I know it's not easy and you're definitely not alone! [/QUOTE]
