It's got to the point me and my wife can't trust him anymore.

He has stole everything he can find In The house to sell and he can't stop.

There's a huge back story to it too which I may drip feed when feeling up to it

What are peoples experiences of declaring your child homeless

He's 18

Not gonna lie I think your disgusting if you put your child on the street how about trying to talk to your child and find out why there stealing from you, how about getting them help instead of making them homeless I really hope you can sleep at night if you do that you ain't a parent sorry but you really ain't

There comes a time, if the adult child is not respect their parents home, that they will have to leave.
Your response is utterly unhelpful as the OP is clearly not getting to this point easily.

Dont need the sarcasm I've seen this situation my boyfriends mum put him on the street because she wont leave an abusive man, its selfish he now has pycosis from this and other issues it's just pure and utter selfish

This situation is completely different. Once someone steals their family's belongings to sell for drugs there's no going back. It will be ripping open birthday cards looking for cash, stealing anything that has a street value.
I've seen that and there is literally nowhere to go.

I think you need to start complaining loudly to social services, he’s very vulnerable by the sounds of it.

I am very sorry you are in this extremely difficult situation.

I realise this may be beyond your means, but is there any possible way you could help him get a studio or 1 bed flat, maybe on shared ownership, near family?

The rent would be covered by housing benefit, he would have a stable place to live (much more so than depending on council and social services) and if he needs support workers they could go to him there.

Perhaps leaving this months old thread and dealing with you and your boyfriends issues would be a better use of your time?

He obviously relies on you to pick him out of trouble. He's a nuisance which is a CHOICE and he let him live in his choices he's not a baby anymore.
