[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 727783, member: 18958"] Hi Christina There are positives on your story. Your son has self control or he could not show respect outside the home. He shows interest in a sport. He has a friend. This is a real start. You do not indicate he used drugs or alcohol. He has a strong base in religious values and he has your deep love. He can build on this. At 21 he must. Sometimes we have to push our children out of the nest. To my mind it is not in his interest or yours to permit him to mistreat you. It is not true that he will have no one or no life without you. This is a false belief and a fear that can be challenged. By posting here you can learn how to support your son to live an independent life and to no longer mistreat you. You will learn how to live in a way where your child's issues become his own to handle...and you are free to live on a way that feels positive and not so burdened. [/QUOTE]
