[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 560084, member: 831"] After years of teen disrespect and verbal abuse, when Daughter turned 18 I told her that the next time she decides to disrespect, or get nasty, with me it better be while she's carrying her suitcases out the door. As a parent of a minor, I had to put up with that nonsense, but as a parent of an adult, I don't. She still lives at home and it's certainly not exactly the way I would want it to be (she's a monumental SLOB and has to be yelled at and nagged to do anything around the house), she knows that level of attack won't be tolerated. At first, when she would become angry with me, I would see her getting ready to take aim. Then, she saw the "I dare you!" look on my face, and she would calm herself and swallow her comments down quick. Now, I have Son and his abusive attitude. Plus, he's a constant liar! I get the "when I'm 18, I don't have to do ANYTHING you say!" (Mainly, it's about medications and psychiatrist appts). I respond, "That's right, you don't. You also don't have to live here either." I had to live in a out of control alcoholic difficult child father, I'm not living with difficult child stuff ONE second more than I have to, PERIOD. I agree with the others that advise you not to allow him in your house anymore. It's so difficult not to take the abusive comments to heart. husband is on the same page with me, but Son is just as bad, if not worse, when it comes to his Dad. He will call his Dad when he's working on his cell and get nasty. husband simply hangs up on him. Sometimes, I have to admit, I will breakdown privately when the weight of the hurt becomes too much.
