[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 728482, member: 1967"] Hello and welcome. Here is the bottom line . . . there is nothing you can do to change your son's behavior. He is going to do what he wants to do. The only behavior you can change is your response to him. It is time to learn how to set firm boundaries and stick to them. Most of us (including me) needed outside support to learn how to set those boundaries. For me, it was two years of private therapy. Many others here have found support groups like AlAnon, NarAnon, and Families Anonymous to be invaluable. There is no reason for you to be abused in your own home. It is time for your son to go. Yes, he is young but as I told another poster, 18-year-olds have fought and died for our country. He is legally an adult and if will not follow your rules and is verbally abusive to you, there is no reason for him to live in your house. You deserve a home where you feel safe. Please reach out for help. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
