[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 756145, member: 23706"] He is 24. You can ban her from the house but I see no way you can stop the dating altogether. Yes, bad things in relationships can happen to adults of all ages. But we in my opinion can't get so far into our kids lives that we try to get them to break up with somebody. I really think it could backfire in a big way. We have to let them make their own choices. We have no power to do anything anyway. Not at that age. The only option that could work would be to tell him to leave if he wants to date her, but if it were me I would not go there. That would in my opinion cause worse problems. For many years you had to worry about your son's drug use. You were successful in getting him to agree to rehab. Most of our kids refused to go even facing grave consequences. So you did have influence over your son in a good way. I don't know if you would have any control over his love life. You know him best. Prayers and hugs! [/QUOTE]
