[QUOTE="JaneBetty, post: 706097, member: 20814"] T Rene, like others have said, stay strong and don't give in to your son's stories, telling you he is sick so that he can stay there and rifle through your belongings. I can hear the frustration in your post. You know this is not right. SWOT is right, he's a grown 28 yo MAN, not a child or a teenager. You wouldn't allow another adult to do these things in your home, but because he is your son, you give in. Everybody here understands that. But you are giving in at the expense of your own peace of mind, your own sense of safety. You should not have to live under these conditions in your own house. I'm so sorry for your struggle, hugs to you. Start by setting one firm boundary and stick to it, it will give you the confidence to set other boundaries. Your son needs you to do this, painful as it might be. [/QUOTE]
