[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 697264, member: 16024"] Hi Gersh, This is one reason I always encourage people to direct their adult children toward social/community services. They need to get out of the mindset that we (parents, relatives, friends) can or should provide for them--whether jobs, housing, money, or anything else. They need to start reaching out for help from the community/government agencies. There are far more resources available from the community than what we can provide. Our help often keeps them stuck, both in their mindset and situation. Sometimes our young adults feel entitled to our resources (not necessarily your son, I have no idea) and some feel they are above asking for "welfare". This keeps them from accessing services which could help them, if they do indeed want help. Either way, they need to learn to survive without us, because we won't be around forever. [/QUOTE]
