[QUOTE="Sabine, post: 619152, member: 17639"] He is choosing to "opt out" of society. I have no idea what sort of relationship you have (other than the financial aspect), but obviously he's out "doing his own thing", and it's best to just let him. Don't judge or try to change him, just tell him that you'll always be there for him for emotional support, but he's a grown man, and you are unwilling to financially support him from here on out. When you're no longer "funding his irresponsibility", you may find his alternative lifestyle somewhat less distasteful... and he may find it more so (eventually). It takes all sorts of people to make life as interesting as it is. [/QUOTE]
