[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 708694, member: 13303"] I think it's time for some tough love. Because of him, you have an eviction on your record. This is very serious. I am a landlord and I know this firsthand. If he won't respect you maybe he will respect the police. Nobody can make a decision for anyone other than themselves. If this were my child I would go to court and file a Child in Need of Supervision report against him. I would contact social services and report that your son is out of control and you need some help and options. I would not take his crap for one more day. He uses drugs? Drugs are illegal. Call the cops. He assaults you? That's also illegal. Call the cops. He breaks into people's homes? That is burglary and/or robbery. Illegal. Call the cops. You don't have to provide anything but clothing and shelter and food. Doesn' t have to be the brands he wants to wear or the food he enjoys. Let him earn his own money and buy his own things if he doesn't like what you provide. Note that the list of what a parent is legally obligated to provide for a minor child does not include a cell phone. Let him keep the device. Cancel every single service on it. See how it suits him. He is under your control...not the other way around. No matter WHAT he thinks. [/QUOTE]
