Babe,

Count to ten before saying anything. The calmer your voice is, the better. Yes, it is a challenge for both of you when they move home. Unless you are absolutely sure that you want him to move out, do not suggest it. Keep in mind, right now, he is very fragile emotionally and it's going to take a lot of digging deep for you to find your patience.

Try to remain calm when dealing with your man/child. He's still finding his way...while you have done all of the hard work while he's been on the Mother Ship. Now, he needs to figure out how to be an adult once again. Like a child, he will be testing you to see if you have actually changed. Don't take his bait! Continue as you have been for many years and allow him to figure things out.

I don't know if you have read this particular thread, but it may help you a bit.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
