[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 706170, member: 18958"] I agree. Your son is NOT DOING OR SAYING one thing to encourage you that he is responding to your judicious and responsible efforts to keep limited parental control and responsible authority in your home. He is insulting you and assaulting you verbally in your own home which is yours. You pay for everything. He has no rights, beyond those that legally protect him. Yet he is trying to take away your rights and dignity. He has set himself up to denounce you and disenfranchise you. I do not say this to make you feel bad, but to acknowledge the position you are in. I agree with Albatross. I would think about what I needed to do now, in order to on his 18th birthday take control over my space. It is not in anybody's interest that this continues longer than it has to. I would not escalate, I think, if I were you. I would do, as Albatross advises, the minimum, to maintain my legitimacy. No pot. I will confiscate. And know that I will enforce his leaving at 18. What about getting the NOLO press books that address your legal situation and show you how to proceed? [/QUOTE]
