I'm sorry this has happened.
I grew up without a mom, she passed when I was 6, and he raised me and my older sister single handedly, so my dad has always been my #1 supporter and I respect the hell out of him.
Would I do the same if I had both parents? I don't know. But from my perspective, you've done the best you can, and even if he isn't , I'm grateful you tried.

hopefully his attitude will improve once he gets a taste of real life...is he spoiled??
KosherSausageMerchant · 51-55, M
@1490wayb Yes and no. He had a rough childhood. He does have mental health issues, but he exaggerates them and sees himself as a permanent victim. It's exhausting for everyone else. Nothing is his fault, everyone hates him, he's always having some mental health crisis or another, he says he was an alcoholic, etc. It's... a lot. Full-time college was too much, so he took a semester off and raised pumpkins. He kept getting kicked out of apartments 'for being trans' (which he is, and I'll fight anyone who has a problem with that), but being trans is NOT an excuse for being a crappy roommate. His grandmother says he takes after his mother (her daughter) in far too many ways. She's a narcissist, a liar, a manipulator, ... She says he's turning out just like her.
I've been his biggest cheerleader and (sometimes) the only family member who is willing to defend him against these accusations. When he estranged himself from me after I tore him a new butt hole, he showed me his true colors. It's a great pity. I thought I had raised him better.

@KosherSausageMerchant = Based on recent news stories you are on very dangerous ground with your son. Just the other day a guy got pissed at his mother, killed her, cut her up, and ate some of her.
It's hard to turn your back on your children but sometimes you have to do it to save your life. You might want to try to have a calm conversation with him, no shouting, accusations, or displays of anger. Try to find out if he wants to continue to be in your family.

@Diotrephes that's going to be a bit of an edge case.

@aboveaverageaveragejoe Damn, I hope so! 🤣

Love should not be conditional...not for you, and not for him. The time to TEACH him how to be a good and decent human being passed with his childhood. Now you are dealing with someone who EXPECTS to be supported...someone who doesn't feel he has to WORK for what he needs and wants...and someone who doesn't feel he has to be kind or appreciate his own family.
Ooops. THAT ship has sailed. NOW you have to enroll him in the school of Hard Knocks.
Money is not love. But you are teaching him that it IS.
