[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 748464, member: 15032"] Welcome I agree that your son needs to move out. He is not functioning as an adult and you having him there is obviously not helping HIM or you. Until you change something, nothing will change. That is what most of us learn that come here for advice and guidance. We have been through something similar so you don't need to reinvent the wheel. Take what helps you and leave the rest. Every situation is different but most situations have a lot of similarities as well. I would recommend getting therapy for yourself if you are able. A therapist that specializes in addiction is what I used and she helped me set firm boundaries for myself and my son. I think he is now doing well now BECAUSE of what we put in place. It doesn't mean you do not love him. As a parent it's our job to raise independent adults. Some have to be forced into this. We had a hard line with our son at a young age because I did not want a 30 year old on my couch asking "what's for dinner". It depends on what YOU will tolerate in your own home. Take charge. If he gets mad, too bad. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
