[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 59099, member: 3579"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I think I would tell him YOU have decided he is moving out at 18. you have a long history of wrestling for power....</div></div> Thought about that. The only reason we DIDN'T go for the "nuke-u-lar" option is because he still has one year of HS to go. I wanted to give him the option of staying long enough to finish school, but I wasn't willing to do it at the expense of allowing him to continue acting the fool. I know GED is an option, but I also know from experience that getting your HS degree on time is mucho better. Even if he's going to leave, as long as he's willing to abide by my rules and stay sober while at home, I'll give him the time to finish school. If not, then he can start on his yellow brick road to his mythical Oz (hopefully not the prison) whenever he feels like it after 18. I want to give him that chance. But if he takes it, there will be no deviations, and no tolerance. Even if he doesn't give a whip about his 'family', I think he does value his HS degree. Maybe that, and a stringent set of rules will keep his behavior under control while he's a tenant in my home for the next year. If not, I have no qualms about giving a stranger the boot, especially one who puts my family in jeopardy. Two months. He'll have been in school for a month by then. A lot could change between now and then, but then again, maybe not. I'll just have to wait and see, and do the best I can with what I know. When I know more, I'll do better [img]:wink:[/img] Mikey Mikey [/QUOTE]
