[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 667018, member: 59"] Hi Tymica, I do remember you but appreciate the recap. Of course I get it. But you do care if he lies or steals from you. You want to see him, you want to know he is OK, you miss him. All of that is understandable and very normal. But I would be willing to bet that after about two days of him being home you would quickly realize why you had him leave in the first place. We are not obligated to allow our kids to walk all over us after they reach 18. I remember the police telling my daughter once when we called them because she was being violent, that we did not have to let her live there anymore and that it was our house and our rules and she was an adult and could live her life however she wanted elsewhere. I know it seems harsh but your son has proven over and over again that he does not respect your property. You do not want to live like that. He knows how to get in touch with you. If he grows up (and often they do) he will come around when you can build your relationship up again. My daughter is now 24 and she respects us now and understands why we did not want her living with us while she was in her drug/alcohol stage. I hope you begin to feel better and find joy in your life. [/QUOTE]
