[QUOTE="Enmeshedmom, post: 724464, member: 22547"] I went to job corps and loved it. You are right he has other options, I’m afraid that he will go to his fathers just because that would be the easiest choice at least initially. I told him yesterday that we need to try to find some common ground and respect each other’s boundaries if we are going to continue to live together while he goes to school. The deal when he graduated was that he could live at home while he was going to school but he had to be working also, at least part time. And if he didn’t go to school he would be working full time and putting away money towards his own living arrangements and we would set a reasonable time limit on that when the time came. I was raised in an alcoholic home and I’m sure that has a lot to do with the way that I am. I will confess that I am a major control freak and highly anxious about most things that are out of my control and there is my biggest problem with this age. He isn’t my Baby anymore and needs to find his own way and I’m scared sh#&less. [/QUOTE]
