I can't stop it but I won't be giving him use of my car to go there.

If he won't follow our rules, he can support himself.[/quote]

This is literally what my youngest brother and parents fought over 9 years ago.

He was moving back home after graduating that May because his new job didn't start until August of that year. My parents forbid him from staying that night at his girlfriend's parents' home. They took away his access to their cars, and took him off the family cellphone plan when he found alternate transportation to go see her to spend the night. Both my brother and his girlfriend were 22 at the time. He and my parents had an explosive fight and he ended up moving out and moving in with her at her parents' house.

He hasn't spoken to my parents in 9 years. My other siblings and I are still close with him. If he's at a family function with my parents, they both ignore the other party. Oh, and he and that girlfriend got married 3 years later. My parents were not invited to the wedding. They had their first kid in 2021 and my parents have never met their first and only grandkid.

When I ask my parents about reconciling, they say stupid things like "he wanted to act grown, so we let him act grown." That makes no sense! He was grown! He was a 22 year old man!   [/quote]
He may have been 22 but he sounds like he was incredibly immature.

How about his parents? Were they mature?[/quote]
