[QUOTE="Worried one, post: 712017, member: 21664"] Reading this, it could be my own 19 year old sons story almost word for word. Except he has held a job (pizza place) since this past October so I'm glad for that. I do not give him any money what so ever anymore. He was expelled from school his senior year & now has to finish online but as far as I know hasn't done anything. He's on probation for possession of pot & alcohol (1st offense) found in his car. He's belligerent with his Dad & I all the time, swearing at us & etc.. He refuses to tell us where he's going unless he's at work. He stays out as late as he wants & pry sleeps all day. (We are at work all day) I even find empty beer cans & vodka bottles in his room- he don't even try to hide the evidence!!! As of today I've told him (written out) some basic rules we expect followed or he'll have to move out. No swearing, be respectful, be home by a certain time or the door will be locked... I'm sure it's gonna get worse before it gets better. He too has used the 'I'll kill myself' line when he's ticked off at us. We used to fold & beg him to calm down but the last time I just turned my phone off & went to bed. He's supposed to start paying for his own insurance & phone this month but I've yet to get the money. I will cancel both if I don't get it. This helps knowing we are not alone though. [/QUOTE]
