My son appears to have cut me out of his life.

Recently, I read him the Riot Act. He and I have gotten along well for years, but lately he has been lazy, selfish, self-pitying, conceited, and ungrateful. I told him so. I also pointed out that he has alienated everyone else — his mother, his grandmother, his uncle, and now me — with his behavior. Now, in addition to cutting them out of his life, he appears to have cut me out, too.

I'm sad.

My door will always be open. I've contacted him but he hasn't responded. Oh, well.

I'm still paying his rent and his college fees. He's being a jerk, but that doesn't entitle me to cut him off. At least, I don't think it does.

[edit] I've told him that he has to pay his own mortgage from now on. He already has two tenants, each paying a quarter of the mortgage. He has to find the other half. He has Pell grants, student loans, etc. He can even (gasp) get a job if he wants! So, yeah, I've told him it's his problem now. When he's ready, he can ask me for the login details of the website.

Did I mention I bought him a house because "no one would rent" to him? Anyway, as I said, the mortgage is his problem now.
