What happens if you just talk to him and just lay everything down on the table. No anger, just the plain facts. Ask how he feels about life and about how much support he expects and ask him directly how he would support himself if he was kicked out. I would be interested in knowing how he would answer that. |

I've got no kids, but I do have a story.
When I was 19 years old, I was kicked out of my father's house. It was one of the best things that have happened to me. At the time, I was doing drugs and hanging out with the wrong crowd. One night, I had a massive party when my father went out of town, and the house got wrecked. That was the final straw. He told me that the free ride was over, to pack my shit and get out. I stayed with some friends for a bit. I had to shuffle around a few times, so as not to wear out my welcome. It was quite clear that the free ride was indeed over. None of my friend's parent's seemed to want to permanently house and feed another kid. Go figure. I got an apartment with a friend of mine. My father helped by cosigning for me to be able to get it. I had to work two jobs to pay rent & utilities, cover food and extremely minimal entertainment. It was a great life lesson. Instead of resenting him, I finally understood that working sucks, and that it sucks even more when you are a single parent raising an ungrateful kid. It also didn't take very long before I realized that I should get a skilled job that paid more, so that I didn't have to work two crappy jobs to make ends meet. I found a job doing something that I liked, and the rest is history. Maybe it was a different time. Maybe my case is the exception to the rule. I never once blamed my father for booting me out. I knew that I deserved a kick in the ass. We have a great relationship to this day. I grab a beer with my father probably every other weekend. |

Make a list of things he can do to stay.
If not, he has to leave. Hardest thing is clear, consistent, united expectations. One Crack and the whole plan goes to hell and he wins. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Mecca might just be in the proper state of mind. To give the inspirational speech before the Chiefs first practice this week.

Mecca try masturbating openly whenever you’re in the same room I bet he’ll leave voluntarily that way.

Glad you're getting a lot of input Mecca, hope it provides some help and relief. I'm on the outskirts of a similar issue, but where the natural father is very much involved. I don't feel near the strain but can imagine. If I make one suggestion is that you and his mom take care and enjoy your own lives as much as possible. No amount of your misery is going to make that kid any happier.
