The thing that helps me is realizing that we did the right thing for me and my husband when we asked our adult son to leave. It wasn't about whether we were doing the right thing for him. We weren't trying to teach him a lesson or punish him. Our home needs to be our refuge.....our safe place. When we are worrying about stealing or the people he might bring around when we weren't home......it was no longer our safe place. It was the right decision for us to ask him to leave.
