[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 683687, member: 19522"] YF, welcome to the forum, I am so sorry for your troubles. We love our kids, when they grow into adults and fail to launch it is a difficult journey for the family. This is a starting point for you, YF. It is a hard place to be in, but, our homes should be our sanctuaries, not a war zone. You have reached out in kindness to help your son, and he will not follow rules and makes you prisoners in your own home. This is unacceptable. Is your son violent? If you are in danger, please take steps to be safe. It would be most helpful to add to your signature so folks will have a better understanding of your situation. If you are writing of the emotional difficulties brought on by having your son leave, these are feelings that can be overcome with time. It is hard to detach from our beloveds, and enforce boundaries,but...... if they are wreaking havoc in our homes, and causing division between spouses, this is not healthy for anybody,[I] including your son.[/I] Posting here will help you through this difficult time. Many of us have been right where you are, YF. You and your wife have value, you matter. Nobody, including our own adult children, has the right to take away the peace of our homes. Keep posting, more will come along and share. I am glad you found us and took the time to reach out, YF. There is so much help and wisdom, sharing and kindness here from these good folks. You have landed in a good place to sort through your situation and try to find the solution that fits for you. Know that we have been through similar challenges and we are all at different points along the path. You are most welcome here, and you are not alone. I am so sorry for your heartache.
