In hindsight, it was a great decision because while family unity and family loyalty will be in my heart till I die, I needed independence and space to figure out the greater lessons of life (like responsibility, challenging truths on my own, finding my way in the world, figuring out where I fit in the great scheme of things, figuring out the place of judgment/condemnation/discernment in my life and other core questions people, who are honest seekers, invariably encounter in their days here on Earth).

In the OP's case, easing the kid out is probably the best case IF there are some preparatory steps and it is CLEAR to the kid that this is all for his own good. No point in blaming, focus more on giving time for clear headed action.
