Those rules may include the simplest thing like making sure to keep their rooms clean and orderly and helping out with some household chores to the more serious rule of no bringing of drugs in any form in the house to any sleepovers with the different sex is prohibited.

Once the relationship you have with your adult child is broken down so much that honest talk is no longer an option and you and your family’s safety is on the line, then it is time to take some actions.
