[QUOTE="stressedoutmom, post: 701795, member: 20979"] Yes he does need to go and become an adult. He has been saying for about 1 year he wants to move out, but then never follows through or as above, something else has come up, dad in rehab, arrest, dad back in rehab. I did tell him that him and his friend need to find an apartment now because it is to much of a strain on our relationship. That is the hardest thing seeing him act like his father and following his anger issues, when in the past we have had a generally good relationship, was always the boys and I together. I have always been their stable parent. I believe he is afraid to leave, but then according to him he wants to leave. I offered to help him get into a place, because I value our relationship, but then has to do rest on his own. If he doesn't take that offer, he is afraid to go. His brother, myself and my SO are just very tired of his anger issues when they come. I ask him why am I the only one he treats like that? I know he is a good person at heart, just has anger issues to me and his brother. According to him, I don't treat him like an adult, but then he wants the same privileges as his brother. I tell him he needs to earn the respect to be given the respect of an adult. [/QUOTE]
