[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 633986, member: 17542"] Wendy, make a plan. Decide when and where you will tell him that he can't live with you anymore. Have friends available to help "police" the telling part. Change the door locks. Tell him you will get a restraining order and you will call the police if he does not respect your decision. It is hard to take this step, but so necessary. You can't and don't deserve to live like this. He is not going to stop until he gets sick and tired of his life. Your home needs to be your sanctuary. There is a thread about that on this board, and that was a very good thread for me. Thinking and reading and studying on that topic helped me say that he can't be here, in my house, unless and until he is in recovery and it's sustained recovery, and then only for one or two nights. My son is 25 years old. Adults that we gave birth to should not be living with us at that age, easy child or difficult child. Write down your plan. Share it with friends. Get some help for this important step. You deserve it. You have a right to it. We are here with you. We get it. Warm hugs. [/QUOTE]
