If you don't feel its healthy for you to let him come live with you, then by all means tell him this and don't feel guilty. As a parent there comes a time when an adult child needs to survive on their own. I understand this is a hard thing to do and its natural to have mixed feeling, even grief. I wish you and your son a peaceful resolution. Don't let him take advantage of you.

My son is in CPS because of his own decision. We went to court and they said that since he didn't want to come home he didn't have to. He has just recently requested a reconciliation. He has made up lies about myself, myfamily, my pets, teachers, other authority figures etc. I have suggested counseling but CPS says he doesn't have to if he doesn. He has failoed 3 grades because the foster parents wont make him do his homework. This requires you to actually sit and do it with him. I realize he is too old for this (16) but it is the only way he will do it. He talked to me this weekend and then when anything confrontational came up he then lied and manipulated the situation to put himself i the best light. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
