Help! Very close to having to kick my eldest son (19) out of the house

Help! Very close to having to kick my eldest son (19) out of the house

Hi everyone,

I am very distraught at the thought of having to go through this.

He has been drinking alot and it has been going on over a year.

He is 19 has a car and a good job and could easily rent somewhere to live.

The disrespect that he shows me is digustting and my other son and Fiance are supportive of my decision that if he doesnt immediately change his disrespect towards me or the rest of the family then he has to leave.

if he continues to drink and continue the self destructive path I will have no option to give him two choices, make an active decision to stop drinking and attend therapy or leave.

At the end of the day I live in a house with my Fiance who suffers with BiPolar II, myself who suffers with severe PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Aggoraphobia and body dysmorpha and my younger son who suffers with PTSD , Depression and Anxiety.

The son in question is causing all of us to have mental health crisis and we have approached him and he has basically told us to all ***** off and that is our problem.

He is renaiging on promises, blatantly lying, refusing to take responsibility for the people he has over in our home and the names he calls me are horrific.

Has anyone else had to do this, out of love if their adult child refuses to live appropriately in the home?

Any advice on how to do this with the most compassion, love and support and yet firmness would be very helpful.

Hi @Katzpurr76, thank you for sharing your experience. It's important to remember to look after yourself and your other family members in times like this, which you have done so. Do you also have a professional support team helping your son manage his health?

Yeh it just hasnt been regular enough and the small amount of cbt he recieved he wasnt able to really grasp because he was cannabis affected...

He has come along way but i believe they needed to concentrate on the anxiety and ocd abit harder.
