[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 692420, member: 19522"] Hi Peanut and welcome. I need to run away too, can I come with you? I have been dealing with similar issues for a long time. It is hard road to travel, to love someone dearly who seems bound and determined to make a mess of their life, and drag us along for the hell ride. I am so sorry for your heartache. You matter and the peace of your heart, mind and home is first and foremost. It sounds as if you have set a boundary and have a plan. This is good. Our d cs will do as they wish and it is unacceptable that their choices affect us so detrimentally. I would check with your State on eviction process, as some laws view adult children as tenants and you may need to go that route. You are right that the only one who can change your son is himself. It sounds from your post that you have tried everything to help him. There is a good article on the PE forum about detachment that is very helpful in setting and keeping boundaries. We can still love our adult children and at the same time have our limits. My heart goes out to you Peanut. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. We are all on similar paths, what works for some doesn't work for all. There is no judgement here, just advice and opinions that you can take or leave, use what fits. Just know that the folks here have been through a lot and understand the pain of it. Welcome to our little corner, so so sorry for your need to be here. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
