My oldest son used to be like that, I wouldn't have him live with us again, he knows that now, and we get on much better these days.

I'd help him pack

This is elder abuse...evict him/her on those grounds...threaten charges if you must!!!

They should know better beforehand, otherwise they will be soon learning who's roof they're sleeping under, and that such conduct is not tolerated there.

Your house, your rules. He/she is a guest and should behave like one. Throw them out.

My tolerance of abuse is lower than most folk…I hear what they are thinking and call them on that!!!!

I would let him/her live in a shelter or wherever else he/she could find.  My home would not be open to an abuser, which is what is happening in this situation.

I would first give him a few warnings that if he doesn't clean up his act, and talk to me  decent, I will NOT give him money, nor cook him his meals, or do his laundry, or vacum his room. And I will not let him borrow my car, nor let him have his friends here ( especially his g.friend ). That will certainly make him talk decent to me. Just withholding the money alone should make his attitude much nicer.

Verbal abuse could turn to physical abuse. I'd be scared. The child could have psychological issues. 

It would be sad to turn your child away but I don't see it any other way. I agree with Dardaigh. 

Best answer   Throw the Bum out

You do not owe an adult child anything.

The fact that they think it's okay to abuse

you, after giving them a roof over their head,

is inexcusable.  Call the police, if necessary

to escort them from your premises.  This 

person has big problems and you do not 

need to be on the receiving end of their

"venting".
