Hey everyone,
Hope all is good. I was wondering if I could get some feedback on a situation witth my 18yo son. We are like oil and vinegar, i'm a hard worker, and he is lazy. Supposed to have a 40 hr a week(or damn close to it) job, is only nice when he wants something, he doesn't respect his surroundings(room is disaster), smart mouths me til no end, and gives very little, to no effort in anything I've asked for him to do. Games are an issue so they just get packed away, no problem for me. He is a huge trigger for me, my mom has had talks with him, I have, his father has(we were divorced forever ago)time and time again. And we see no inituative whatsoever. Do I send him to stay with his father who will have a "heavier hand" than I do?? He's signed up for college classes, and we went through hell his junior and senior year of H.S and I see no change for the better on his part. It is very shortlived. I feel like if I allow him to stay with me that I am going to have more health issues, triggers and stress. I had a hospital stay a few weeks ago. Anyway, any suggestions cause I don't know what to do. Thanks

lt took me until my early 20's to pull it together and that was because l fell in love and he moved in, l wanted us to have a good future so l tried but until then urgh l worked but it was half hearted and l used every trick in the book to stay out late and lie in till noon
