[QUOTE="MrMike, post: 603095, member: 16687"] Thank you Kathy, I really appreciate your supportive words and your understanding of the situation. Any your right, making him sign the forms or leave is the right way to go, as well as sticking to our guns and following through on what we say. That has been the difficult thing because several times I have kicked him out, one of them was at 11:30 at night when he started throwing stuff our of anger. That particular time I felt horrible sending him out into the darkness with his backpack and a few clothes, telling him not to return. He broke stuff on the way out, which made the whole experience gut wrenching and scary at the same time. I thought that was it, but he was back the next day, in the house before I knew he was there. So, it's that whole violent, guilt-ridden, scary experience of kicking him out knowing that he has nowhere to go, that rips the you know what out of me, that is the hardest thing. I know, however, that if he wont comply with our reasonable rules of the house that it is the right thing to do, however painful it is. But with the help of a counselor, and this forum, we will come up with a plan that we will follow through with. Thanks again for the help. Mike [/QUOTE]
