[QUOTE="1905, post: 113434, member: 2668"] My difficult child was exactly like this! We took all this crazy verbal and physical abuse forever! We counted down the years until he was 18, he did really poorly in school, and couldn't hold down a menial job due to the "Why should I?" stance he always took. When he finally did graduate all heck broke loose as his way of supporting himself was to steal from us, sell our things and con everyone we know out of money. This is a very abridged version- but...I went to the police station and got a restraining order. Your son does leave the house right? Does he call you and threaten you, screaming and cursing at you? Go there when he is out, and they will give you a restraining order right that minute on an emergency basis. In a few days you go to court, tell a judge what is going on in your house, and it will be permanant. Ok, you can remove it when you need to. My son was in a sorry state. We gave him numbers of homeless shelters. Of course you dodn't want to do this, but he will never change his ways on his own if things have gotten this far out of hand. He needs to see what it's like to be on his own, and only then can he truly appreciate all you do for him. My son was forced that instant to do all for himself, still it was/is a slow process. He is 20, a carpenter, and pays his own bills, but never lived here again. There is still some problems, but the goal here is to have the child do for himself. -You can do this, there is lots of good ideas here- you will be happy and not regret whatever you decide to do.-Alyssa [/QUOTE]
