But I'll miss him so much. And I often miss when he was little. They're not kidding when they say they grow up so fast. I still can't get over the fact it's been 18 years already since he was born. He's my pride and joy, my whole world. I'd die for him and I'd kill to protect him.

And no, I don't think it's a silly worry. I think it's perfectly normal.

I'm not quite ready for grandchildren yet, though. Shane's only 18. If he has kids now, that wouldn't be a good thing.

My opinion hasn't changed and you MUST lay down the law....without any discussion....if he doesn't like the new regime then he can eff off and find himself somewhere to live.
Harsh? May be but tough love is what is needed for you AND him.
He could be manipulating the situation to his advantage.
Have I been in the same position as you? No .
I have been aq little shit when I was younger and my parents gave me an option.....get real or eff off....I got real.
Best thing they ever did for me.
Good luck and take care.
