[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 745870, member: 23103"] I could have written your post when my son was 20. (almost 22 now) My 1st post here is our BIG blow out. Like you I had been reading this board for months and it is what kept me sane. Just knowing we weren't alone helped. I feel guilty that I do not in any way want our son to be living back in our house. I would like to see him more but NOT living here. our son also migrated into a less than desirable group in senior year and (it's his fault, he went along) and lost the ambition to go to college (he was already accepted). He works at a car dealership , full time. His wage isn't enough to pay all of his bills (he spends some frivolously) We help out a little to keep his car insurance paid. I am worried about depression( and suicide if overwhelmed) and at this point I haven't been pushing him to add another part time job (he did have one but they wanted hours he couldn't work due to full time job needing him to stay over at times).. It sounds like you have a good plan for after holiday. I know you feel guilty. So did I. But you don't need him ruining the other kids final time at home either. My daughter told me the only time she heard her dad and I fight it was due to ds and she said it was a lot. That makes me sad. I was always making excuses for him. You are giving him plenty of heads up. Maybe (fingers crossed) he will find a good room mate, maybe a girl he wants to impress. Get his act together to keep her happy (that's where mine is at the moment). Good luck. Keep posting. [/QUOTE]
