Adult Son back at home and taking the p*ss

Our adult son came back into our home when he split with his partner. Since then we have done everything we can to support him emotionally and financially. He owes us a lot of money which he promised to pay back weekly. He is also in debt with other people. Whenever we raise this with him he storms off and makes our lives miserable. He has now gone out and spent hundreds of pounds on an item that was unnecessary. To be honest, we can't even look at him as we are so angry. We are now at the end of our tether and ready to tell him to leave again. Advice please!

How old is he? Could you tell him to get in touch with adult social care, so they can help him find housing, if he cannot afford it? I would set a deadline for when he needs to leave, so adult social care knows that he will be homeless in the near future. Is he able to listen to you at all? Is there a chance he could return the expensive item?

How old is he and how long was he away from the house? Did you discuss him moving back in and what your respective expectations were? I think sometimes it needs to be spelled out that they are moving back as an adult and so they are expected to pull their weight as an adult.
