[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 715317, member: 1550"] If this were me and difficult child was 18 or over I would rather have him gone than wait for the miniscule chance of ever getting paid back. You dont deserve that childish disrespect ("no, I wont pick it up) in your house. You can not say anything to the sort of person who refuses to admit he does very hurtful, self destructive things snd blames others. I wouldnt talk to him much at all. "Pack your bags" is about it snd nothing to the abusive lies that follow. Maybe go in my room and lock the door. Do you have a spouse? His money problems are due to one person...himself. Doesnt matter if he admits it or not. Nobody made him drink and drive or steal but himself. Your other two kids dont hate you but they may hate their lives at home in general if you let this bully stick around. Yes, he is your son but he is a bully. Bad choices are one thing. Abusive behavior is another. A house is the only place anyone can find sanctuary. But it has to be a calm place for that. by the way, I hope you dont pay for his car. He doesnt drive safely and doesnt need a car. He can ride a bike or walk or use Uber or a bus...why pay for his toys? He isnt grateful. Please take care of yourself first. Be good to yourself. Treat yourself the way you deserve to be treated. Do not allow anyone to abuse you. No, not even an adult child. I hope you get some peace tonight. [/QUOTE]
