The rotating front door…

Anyone ever dealt with rotating front door syndrome? SS is 20 and by all accounts is worthless. No work, no school, no nothing…ever, unless of course it is on a playstation or an iPhone. Have raised him since he was 9 and he has been nothing but trouble (with the law, or the school, or DHS because he refuses to have anything to do with his child in another state). He lies, he steals and if he is speaking, at best, it is half-truths. It would be nice to see him out of the house for good, however he leaves-he returns, repeat, repeat, repeat.

Lies, Lies and more Lies

I am not new to being a SP, have been one for 10 years. Have three of them (SS, SS, SD) and the two oldest are now 18+ and have found it within themselves to lie about anything. In their actions they no longer find it necessary to follow rules, or tell the truth. For a bit, shutting down the WiFi worked miracles for getting their feet moving and chores and such done. Now, they are both out of school, totally ignore all the help they have been given on going to college, and find it within themselves to just lie.
