[QUOTE="Iamworn, post: 732502, member: 19148"] I believe you are doing the right thing in having him move out if he doesn't listen to your house rules.......I had to do that with my son about 5 years ago (and have let him back a couple of times, with him continuing to abuse me and my rules after he had been back for less than a week). He would sleep down by our apt. complex's pool and I would see him sleeping there when I went for nightly walks....he knew I could see him, but I didn't budge. Alot of parents of his druggie friends said they hated me and I was awful; even 2 of them put him up for a while only to find out that he had no respect for anyone's rules so they had him leave too! I manage to keep in touch with him but his texts are far and few between. He has said recently that he loves me, but still blames me for his troubles. At least he has a weekend sales job, but he has a long way to go (no drivers license or car-which he totaled). Keep us posted please. Yes, it is incredibly painful and I have to pray my guilt feelings away - I know that I did my best, and I know you all did too - his downfall was hanging around with other kids who had absent parents and doing drugs. I tried to shield him from them, but he always found a way. He started at 16 and is almost 21 - he gets sober, then goes right back to drugs. I am anxious to see how things work out for you! [/QUOTE]
