[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 645800, member: 18516"] I agree with MWM and RE on the advice they have given. Of course you will worry about him, you love him. That being said, you need to love yourself first. When our children are young we always put them first but there comes a time that they need to care for themselves and we as the parents need to take our focus off of them and put it back on ourselves. this is nothing more than emotional blackmail, at 21 he should be taking care of himself. If I had all the money we spent helping our difficult child I would be able to retire early;) Changing the code to your house is a good idea. My only advice is make sure you explain to your son why you are doing it and keep in mind, (locks are for honest people). Locks did not keep my difficult child out, he would cut screen and break windows to get in. There were times I had to call the police. Hugs to you:grouphug: [/QUOTE]
