[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 511154, member: 1233"] You MUST allow Peter Pan to figure this out for himself. It won't be on your timetable, it may not even result in a move to a less violent environment. It isn't easy by any means. But if you fix it, find a new place for him, report this guy and get the cops to clean it up, whatever, then Peter Pan does not grow up. You will infantilize him even more if you clean this up for him. Let him know that you know that he can handle his life. And then step back and let him do it. If he never falls, he will never learn to get up again. [/QUOTE]
