Answer 1

If you're religious, prayer always provides comfort and hope. I mean i know this next part isn't what you want to hear, but when he turns 18, he's a legal adult and unless he's listening to rules now, he'll use that as an excuse to get out of anything. Best advice i can give is pray about it. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

As frushtrating as it is, you can't kick him out until he's 18... It may be difficult to see him go through this, and I'm sure it's sad to watch him slowly deteriorate to a low life thug. You do, however, have authority over him, and if he doesn't listen to you, then I think you should restrict him. Does he have a car? Did you pay for it? Take t away. Cell phone? If you paid for it, take it. Start limiting him until his act changes, and it might make him start to change a little. If not... well, there are cops you can call to break up domestic disputes.
Good luck, and keep your chin up. There is always hope.

Answer 3

You have tried everything so you have done what you can do. Yes it is heartbreaking to be sure. But you may have done to much. He knows that mom will take care of things.

Let him go and kick him out as you may do so the very day he turns 18. Sit him down and explain things before you do so. Then he will be forced to ask you for things on your terms. Its easy to be coolio but how long do you think he can be so without money and a place to live? Not long.

Answer 4

In the United States, a child well technically an adult can move out when they're 18 years old.

If your kid keeps acting like he's 12 he's going to really get himself in big trouble either with gang members or the police. So I really suggest you throw him into a boot camp of some sort unless you want to see him screw his life up even more.

Answer 5

A child can move out at any age, as long as the parents approve, and they can support themselves. in many states, at 18 years of age, you are no longer financially obligated to the child unless they attend full-time college.
If he has to goto court, tell the judge you can't control him and you don't know what you can do, the judge will probably handle the situation.

Answer 6

At Nov 19 you can change the locks and kick him out, he is an adult and no longer your responsibility unless he goes to collage. In some jurisdictions you must support him until 21 if he goes to collage.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

first, you need to educate yourself.....try using the little "check spelling button" the next time you post a question....whew, it was tough reading that!
OK, now .....tell him to get the heck out when he turns 18, you don't want all of his so-called gang buddies shooting up your house, and putting your life in danger..
just a tip: people don't change until they are ready! so hang on tight, there's not much you can do to sway him if you don't have money for therapy appointments.
sorry
