My almost 19 year old has just stormed out with his bags packed, left his phone and said he never wants to see or speak to me again! Lovely. He's changed a lot recently, he rarely comes home anyway and when he does he's really entitled. In the last 2 days he's told me to fuck off 3 times, once for asking him to take the rubbish out and tonight because I asked him to remove his clean washing from the tumble dryer.
He's also been bullying me a fair bit, aggressive in his language, dismissive of my opinion. I tell him in no uncertain terms that this is not on, but we have argued about it loads. So anyway he's gone, I feel sad but not devastated. Of course I'm worried about school (hes doing his a levels) I know this is stressful for him, but the behaviour has to stop and I couldn't just let him keep on with it.
I want to have a good relationship with him and we have always been really close but maybe now I have to let go? What do you think any advice?
