My parents kicked me out twice as a kid. One time was when I was 18, and I ended up homeless for almost 5 months on the other side of the country. The shit I went through fucked me up good. They said it was "tough love."
Please please please don't do something like that to your kid if you're trying to teach them a lesson. Those 4+ months still haunt me a decade later and continue to cause me immense pain.
Oh hell no. My partner and I are in no way interested in just kicking anyone out. The reason we're trying to work on the attitudes and trajectory now is to have time to set goals and work together to build up his skills & resources to enable independence, which is a far cry from a kick out.
I'm sorry to hear that I happened to you even once. We've had some friends of our kids end up being treated that way, so the kids ended up at our place briefly while they found their feet.
