- Go to letting go of a misguided son
The door is still open
I let my son know that if things don't work out he can move back in. His father is a smooth talking con man -- you nailed it. I do hope my son's eyes will be opened and he will see that his father is using him for his own purposes. Thanks for sharing and caring. Michele

Ogre wouldn't pay child support unless forced by law
It is sad that this sorry excuse for a man can have such influence over a sensitive and gentle young man and my hands are tied. I have to remember that God's in charge and I'm not. Amen!

Sorry, can't contribute any experience to that because I have no children. But I'm deeply disturbed by your post and terribly concerned for your son. How can a father charge hi own son rent? Some things are just beyond belief, yet they happen.

The problem is that your son's father is a smooth talker. He is playing the poor pitiful me, everyone is against me but I know I can count on you son, you are the only one I have in this world, and so forth! My ex did that to my youngest son and took him for a major ride! This situation is short term although it feels like an eternity! The father will be exposed for he is in due time! Your son just needs to be able to walk away from without guilt! I was supportive to my son, disliking every minute of it, and remained available to him! I have him still and he has seen just what an ogre his father is! I believe that this will come about in time with your son! Just be patient and try not to let it wear you out! This will pass, I am convinced having just gone through it! It was a dreadful 8 years! See, patience is everything! sam
