Sitting here crying after a row with my 19 yr old son. He's back from uni and I'm finding it hard with him living back in the house. Also all the stuff that he's brought back is all over the place as his room is too small for it to go in and there's nowhere else I can put it. I've asked him to tidy it up. He's left crockery in the living room which I asked him to take to the kitchen. He's left something in the washing machine without emptying it, etc, etc. He has no respect for me and shows me no love. He goes out hardly saying a word and comes home late so I don't really see him. The conversation turned from me asking him to do things to him saying things like 'grow up' to me, 'stop having a go at me', 'stop shouting at me' (when I wasn't shouting). It was much worse than it sounds when I write it down. To give some background, his dad and I separated in 2012 and I had to sell the marital home so his room is much smaller.

He was OK yesterday evening for the short period I saw him. I've just woke up and seen he cooked for himself and left a saucepan out which has got burnt on food on the bottom (not even put it in soak to make it easier to wash up). I'm going to have to say something but worried about it all kicking off again.

Those of you who have suggested contacting the police, can I ask what would actually happen?
