[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639550, member: 1550"] Hi there. Sorry you had to come here. You will probably get a better, bigger response on Parent Emeritus (the forum) because this forum is for minor children and your son is of legal age.Once your child is eighteen it is both a blessing and a curse. You have more options but you also can no longer help your adult child unless he is willing to get help and you have no rights to be able to force him into care. You have other leverage, which we can explain later. I have a question. Why did you let the father move in with you? I mean, I'd have kicked his butt to last week. Why do you allow your son AND his sperm donor to disrespect you in your own house? YOU matter. Nobody has a right to just move into your house without your permission and your son can not just do illegal stuff under your roof. Is there more to the story? One thing that we all had to learn is that we CAN NOT FIX OUR ADULT CHILDREN. We can not fix anybody. We can change OUR reactions to them, but we can't change anyone except ourselves. The "I can fix it" mindset simply disappoints us because it is not possible to change anybody who is not willing and eager to go along with you. This goes for everyone living on earth!!! ;) Welcome to our world...haha. We are glad you joined us, although, again, sorry you had to. [/QUOTE]
