[QUOTE="1905, post: 397702, member: 2668"] I have been exactly where you are right now. It was a horrible tme in all our lives, to put it mildly, but it had been horrible for so long there was no other choice. I had a friend at the time whose 27 year old son was living in his house, on his sofa, not working and this is what I saw was the future for my own child. We kicked our son out after he broke down our door and I had to get a restraining order against him. He saw what the cold , real world was like at that time. He saw. He lived with friends and had to work (the horror) just to live in some bedbug infested flop-house. He got kicked out of the Marines before he even got to bootcamp. He had to learn the hard way...some of our kids have to learn the hard way. It is sad and painful as a parent. Now my son is a union carpenter, he works with my husband. My husband will lay that kid off in a heartbeat if he doesn't bust his butt at work and he knows it. He has a work ethic now, he has responsibility now. He is not mature, and always learns the hard way. But he is moving forward and I am happy about that. Your son may have to find his own way, maybe appreciate all you do for him by your stopping what you do for him. I know it's hard, but you know what to do. Be strong. Hugs and peace for your hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
