[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 186358, member: 1157"] If you read through some of the posts on this site, you will find many stories of parents having to practice "tough love" on their kids. It doesn't mean we have "disowned" them, it just means we have reached a point where we cannot be pulled into our kids' drama any more, and have to let them sink or swim on their own. It could be this is what your son has done .. you said it was due to her "behavior." As JoG said, without knowing the entire story, we can't really give opinions on much here. I have to agree, however, that this was not your call to make. What's done is done, though. If she now has a place to live and a job, step back and let it go (and get your name off the lease, if it's on there). I suspect that is the only way you will repair your relationship with your son.
