Need advice

[emsie2]

Having trouble with my 17yr ds
He walked out Saturday night
Saying :
He that he feels imprisoned and just needs time and space to put his head in a better place and mature.
And wants to move out and do it all on his own !
I’ve asked were his staying at moment but will not tell me
Which I get his 17
I’ve always allowed him a life to meet his friends, go to gym , beach just generally being a young lad
For his 17 birthday this year I got him a car
A party for him to have mates round
But I feel like a kick in the teeth
And is causing arguments with my other half his stepdad (we’ve been together 10 yrs )
As my other half saying his taking the mickey
His got a girlfriend who is a year younger and we’ve even welcomed her to ours
But I feel she may planting these thoughts in his head which he is old enough to make his own mind up

I’m just after so advice
Am I being unfair to soft

I can understand how hard that must be for you, but I don't think you can stop him. I'd be gutted if my DS did this but if he wants to do it on his own, has he said what he'll live off? I'm assuming he doesn't want you to pay for anything?

At the moment he has no job
Just said I start looking for one
When I asked were are u staying he will not tell us
Which then makes me think his staying at his girlfriend house
As normal he say
It all don't make sense

If he were mine, I'd tell him that he's welcome back anytime but if he wants to move out and be an adult, he needs to pay for himself like an adult.

Tell him door open. But you understand he wants be be an adult. Let him
