[QUOTE="New Life, post: 765026, member: 33213"] The younger boys 18 and 21 were both told they could live with us but they were required to work and contribute and follow our rules. And no room for their dogs since it’s a two bedroom apartment (renting for a year). The 18 year old doesn’t want to live with my fiancé. We’ve been together for over six years but my son has never liked him. My son even attacked him once swinging a suitcase hitting him over the head. Surprising that man has stayed with me after some of what he’s endured! My son is not opposed to work. He likes to work but doesn’t want to pay any rent or bills. I do think one day he will change his mind. If he’s willing to do as asked we’ll let him. He’s planning on living in his car so the future will be interesting. The 21 year old is about to be on probation too for a DWI. He doesn’t want to get rid of his dog so same story with him. He’s got this plan he’s going to buy some land in Arkansas and transfer his probation and build a cabin. 🤦♀️. If he asks to live with us we’ll let him also if he agrees to do what we’ve asked. I have to say I don’t think I’d be able to end this if not for having to sale my house and move. I have to sale to give my ex his equity. I was allowed to stay in the house until the last kid was out of high school (should be graduating in May had he not dropped out). Moving gave me a little support in laying out future expectations. And leasing an apartment helped with the dog situation since my cats are the allowed two pets. And the 18 year old has a felony so probably can’t be added to the lease. And now it will be my fiancés home too so he will help require them to be accountable. And not allow me be abused. I still hope and pray I have the strength to keep firm boundaries. I’m grateful for his support. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a lot of anxiety about the future and how this will all play out. I am trying to be excited about choosing me and a new life.
