[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 549497, member: 1550"] I have to disagree with IC. Depression (many have said mild) is not a good enough reason for him to abuse you. There is really no good reason for that. He is also too old to refuse to work, depression or not. Sounds like you are destroying the best years of your life (those golden years) to try to take care of a very unpleasant child. I have a child on the autism spectrum. If he treated me the way you son treats you, he'd be somewhere else. You are not obligated to take care of this young adult for the rest of him life. In fact, if you do, you will cripple him, destroy the rest of your life, and not have the time to spend with your other children. No adult child has the right to abuse any of us nor to refuse to work if he is capable of doing so. If he is very ill, there are group homes. I wouldn't put up with it. I do know it's hard, but it's his anger vs. you and the rest of your family. He CAN do something about his anger. Let him grow up. He won't even try to get a job living with you. He will get better self-esteem by working. JMO :) [/QUOTE]
