[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 604500, member: 1967"] I agree with the others. It is time for your son to find a new place to live. He is taking advantage of you and by letting him stay there you are in effect making it possible to spend his money on drugs. That was a shock for me to hear when my therapist said it but I realized it was true. Believe me when I say I know how scary it is to think about your difficult child being homeless but he will only be homeless if he chooses to be. It is obvious that your difficult child can get work when he wants to. Why shouldn't he have to pay for housing, food, phone, and car expenses like the rest of us? Everyone comes to the point of making their difficult child leave when they are fed up and refuse to be pulled down by their difficult child's bad choices. It sounds like you are there to me. He is 21-years-old. There is no need for you to be tearing up the stairs when he oversleeps and then have to remind him that he should call in to work. If he didn't have a free roof over his head, I think he would think twice before sleeping in and losing his job. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
