[QUOTE="matti, post: 530670, member: 14634"] Hi there My son, who is 23 and still lives with us, is smoking pot and causing problems at home. He is still with us because he is mentally ill and likely will never, ever be able to care for himself fully. I just don't know what to do. He's too old to discipline, but can't be kicked out because he can't care for himself - he's too sick to work full time. I know the answer, kick him out and to heck with him. I am just having real difficulty with doing it. He has ADHD, schizophrenia and an anxiety disorder and to be honest I just don't have the kahoonas to do it. This issue is putting an incredible strain on my marriage. I guess I just want to vent. I've had enough of this. I find myself feeling deeply envious of people who have "normal" kids. No real problems, and they're well on their way to being responsible adults. I know my son will never be "normal". These illnesses are life long and I am really having a hard time dealing with this.
