[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 678212, member: 19887"] Thank you all for your words of wisdom and your support. We had an argument yesterday that ended ok, with being able to say some things that needed to be said. Oldest son hates conflict and will usually leave when upset. He said he needs to move out and I think he was surprised when I agreed with him. I also made it clear we will no longer pay his school. He needs to find a real job. He says he has one lined up. Do we believe him? Not sure. Husband has his bank info and can check his account , he said that the deposits from people have decreased significantly since Xmas, but he wants to keep watching. Son does not know we have access. We are trying to be clearer to both boys about our expectations . My husband told them both he is done paying tuition. I think it's a bit harsh on the younger one, and if he continues doing well I know we will help him some. I took a few days off work this week as I was not sleeping and having some episodes of vertigo. I'm hoping to fell better today and go back Thursday. I don't know where we will all end up, with older son but at least we are being clearer with him. He is such an amazing and smart young man, I just grieve over his choices since high school. He told me yesterday he thinks he is depressed, and plans on giving up drinking as its getting out of hand. I think he has replaced hard drugs with alcohol. I suggested seeing our Doctor. But it's up to him. [/QUOTE]
