[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 746383, member: 18516"] I'm glad you told him that you will not tolerate his disrespect towards you. You can only do what you are comfortable with but if it were me, I would not allow him to move home. If you do choose to let him be prepared as things do not usually get better and then you may have a hard time getting him to leave. I swear there is a handbook out there that our difficult adult children use and chapter one is "blame your parents for your screwed up life" This is just misplace anger. They are angry because their lives are a mess and rather that own the responsibility of their own poor choices, it's much easier to blame mom and dad. My son had been on his own for many years and still wanted to blame me. I pointed out to him that I did not have any influence in his life after turning 18 and all the decisions he has made are his and his alone. Your son, my son and all the difficult adult children we share about here on this site have a choice each day when they wake up. They can choose to make better choices or they can choose to continue down a path of dysfunction. Regardless of what they choose, it's their choice, not ours. I encourage you to really think long and hard before allowing him to move into your home. Are you up for the battle? Also, remember that none of this is your fault. Your son has made his choices all on his own. Please don't allow him to drag into a guilt trip. :notalone::staystrong: [/QUOTE]
