[QUOTE="Overwhelmed1, post: 756598, member: 24921"] I have been thinking today, A LOT. If I tell my son this weekend about my decision for him to move out, I may have to deal with anger from him while I am at home working. That could be bad for me professionally. The positive though I would be there so he couldn't destroy anything. Not sure he would but he did tell me not to long ago, he would leave and remove all the remolding I paid him to do. Told me you should have saved the carpet when you put down the hardwood floors. I don't think he would really do that. I'm thinking I should wait until I am back at work so I am not there with him all day. I don't have anyone to be there with me when I tell him that he needs to move out. He would play it cool until they left most likely. He would probably leave until the person left. I have called the police once and they arrested him. He had to go to anger management classes and be tested for substance and alcohol for a year. He was gone for two years then like a dummy I let him back in. He seemed to have changed and things were good for a while. He is depressed I know but I offered to take him to a counselor or therapist but he wouldn't go. Now several years later he is slipping back to his old ways. Now I am back to square one. I know I have done great damage to both my kids by trying to be the fixer. If only I could go backwards and knew then what I know now. Maybe both my daughter and son would be in a better place now. Well I can't change the past and can't tell the future. All that's left today is go to sleep and pray for a better tommorow for us all. [/QUOTE]
