[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 668763, member: 18238"] By remembering that your son is an adult, not a child. There are 19 year olds right now fighting and dying for our freedom, not because they were forced to do so but because they chose to do so. Through his actions, your son has made his choice as well. You wont help him by letting him stay. Not only will you hurt him, you will hurt the younger siblings as well. We live in Missouri and kicked our 19 year old son out last October. He survived. Yes, we helped. Much more than we should have. You can read the threads by me and Lil, my wife for more details on the apartment fiasco. It wont be easy. Get help through group therapy, a counselor, CODA, or whatever you have available in your area. Read the article near the top of the Emeritus board on detachment. But stick to your guns. Just remember that if he were not your son you would have had him arrested and kicked out long ago. Being your son doesn't give him a get out of jail free card from responsibility for his actions. Our son has been on his own (yeah, right!) for almost a year now and has had nothing terribly catastrophic happen to him yet. He has survived. Your son will survive as well. Time to take the training wheels off of the bike and let him fall a time or two. [/QUOTE]
