[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 684803, member: 15801"] The added worry of the grandparents adds a difficult layer to this difficult situation. However I agree with Leafy.... Assuming the grandparents are of sound mind they are adults and can make their own decisions. I think you could firmly tell them that he is 25, is not doing the things he should be doing, and is stealing from us and we are not willing to live like that anymore. We do not want or expect you to take him in but we understand that is your decision. If you choose to take him in, do not be surprised if he steals or takes advantage of you, and if he does that and you want to throw him out we will back you up. And like Leafy said there are protections for folks over 60 so if he moves in with them you might want to call elder services at some point and ask them to check in with your parents. This is hard situation, but letting him live with you while he is not holiding down a job and taking advantage of you will not help him grow up and be a responsible adult. And yeah this is absolutely not your fault. Got to let go of that one. [/QUOTE]
