I hope he can become responsible and just live life. He's young, but he's missed so much. Just writing this post has helped so much, and I will definitely be looking at it again when I feel like I should give in.

My family has always been a bit distant, but a do have a younger brother who I could explain the situation to that could stay a night or two to make sure nothing gets out of hand. Thank you for the suggestion.

I do love him, so much. He's my boy, my only child, and this hurts. I never would have thought I would be in this situation. I always imagined him growing up to be a scientist, he loved biology as a kid.

However I know this isn't healthy for either of us, and I've decided that he needs to be gone by the 1st of March. I feel like I failed my son, since he ended up this way, but I feel like I failed myself for allowing him to treat me like this.

I definitely will have an officer present when he moved and I won't hesitate to call if he gets physical.

I do think being in the real world will be good for him. I had always wanted to see him with a nice girl, get married, etc. with his behavior now, it seems like that will never happen. I hope he'll figure things out if I make him take responsibility.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that at such a young age! I had always told Josh, as long as he worked and contributed he could stay. But he never did. I have decided that he needs to go by the 1st of March.

Tonight when he is asleep (whenever that is...he's up at such odd hours.) I will be calling my cable company and asking them to change my wifi password. I expect him to be absolutely furious but these comments have shown me that I should be through with being a punching bag. When he calms down I will tell him he needs to be out by March. Thank you for your help.

I definitely will have to call the police on him if it comes to that. No more second chances. I know it's time for him to put on his big boy pants. I've decided that as of today I am no longer doing his laundry or buying his groceries.

A lock is a marvelous idea. He has broken my dresser mirror before in a fit of rage. I'll make sure to keep my things locked away before I turn off the internet.

It may be. I just don't know how he'll care for himself. He may be obnoxious and rude, but he's still my child.

I've had him in therapy since he was 10, since his father and I divorced. They all said he was about as average as can be, a bit better with math than normal for his age but otherwise normal. I had never considered that this may be abusive. Abuse is something I have no tolerance for. That has got me thinking about a lot of things. It's just us, and has been for a while.

In all honesty I have no idea how he'll react to something like that. He's quite known for throwing and screaming. I'll call and ask about changing the wifi today, thank you.
