My son graduated high school last month. Because of his behavior in general and toward me in particular, he was told he has to move out after he graduates.

A couple days ago, he started in with me again and I told him he has three weeks to move out. Then I left for work and cried the whole time driving there and while I was working. This child is breaking my heart.

Anyway, would you guys please pray that he would find somewhere decent to stay so he isn't out on the streets? He hasn't got money to rent an apartment. He has a job but it's not 40 hrs. a week. I don't want him to end up with people worse than the ones he already spends time wtih.

I love my boy dearly but I can't take how he treats me. It hurts too much and it has totally worn me out - I'm at the end of my rope here.

Making him leave is SO hard. I'm crying as I write it - I love him so much and he is making such stupid decisions with his life.

So - thanks in advance for you prayers for him. I know God has something planned for him and I'm hoping he will find that without having to go through hell first, you know?

I tell you, without my faithful canine lovebugs here with me, I'm not sure what I would do. Not sure if I could face getting up in the morning without them here.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Oh, one more thing - pray that he and I will have a good relationship again - that what is going on now will not separate us.

Oh my....I'm so sorry. I went through a similar situation with my daughter when she turned 18. As much as it hurts...it sounds like you're doing the right thing.

Can you check your local churches, counseling centers and even your hospitals. There is usually a group for parents in your situation....google under "tough love". It's always helpful to have others to speak to who have been or are in similar situations.

Take care of yourself...hug your babies and have faith. If you need to talk...feel free to pm me.
