He sounds like my brother. My little brother is 19 years old, does drugs and drinks heavily, treats my parents horribly, has severe anger issues, is extremely violent, can't hold a job, and wrecked three cars in 6 months. Now he's facing felony charges for using a stolen credit card while one of his friends is facing strong armed robbery charges over the same event. And still my parents won't kick him out. Every time I visit he treats me like %#@&#! and then asks me for things. When I say no, and explain that he can't treat people like that and expect them to help him, my mom tells me to stop acting like his mother. I have to fight the urge to scream that if she acted like his mother then I wouldn't have to!
He has never once had to face the consequences for his actions. My parents even paid his bail and got him a lawyer. All I can say is it's no wonder when they let him get away with everything.
Raceka, for your son's own good, you need to kick him out. He has to learn that his actions have consequences. If he breaks in, then call the police. I know it breaks your heart, but in the end it will do him more good than it would if you allowed him to stay.
