[QUOTE="morningcuppa, post: 78618, member: 4108"] Thanks for all your helpful advice. I agree it is time he flew the nest. I have suggested this to him when he was in a reasonable mood and he said very honestly that none of his friends want to live with him as he is so totally disorganised. This is quite true. I think he would like to share with his friends but can understand they won't want this. Ideally I am thinking that we need to lay down the ground rules here first. We will no longer tolerate any more damage or disrespect. We won't make excuses for him anymore. Then perhaps he will sort himself out and hopefully be a better room/flat mate.Failing any improvement he will have to doss temporarily with friends while he has agood think about how to live his life. Unfortunatly where we live rent is very very high and I can't see that he would be able to get a place on his own. He does pay us towards his keep. I am feeling a bit proud that at least I stood my ground last night as I usually cave in. I suspect this is the cause of some of our problems and it is not helping any of us if I do this any more. So it's time for us to toughen up. Sorry to hear your son has hit you Jen. It must be so scary. [/QUOTE]
