[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 503854, member: 84"] I'm not sure how realizing that you're probably being manipulated is being cold hearted. However, even if he IS depressed, what does that have to do with allowing him to live with you? You don't have any control over his depression. That would be like saying "hey, my kid has diabetes so he can't live alone". Know what I mean?? He can get treatment whether he lives with you or not, if that is what he chooses to do. Depressed or not, if his situation is not uncomfortable enough to make him want to change it, he's not going to want to change it. So if living at home is not helping, then it may actually be hurting his motivation. See? Doesn't have anything to do with you being uncaring. And trust me, the professionals know that. Hugs [/QUOTE]
