[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 564028"] He's 24? He should be out on his own, period. Childhood is long over. Tell him he has a month to get a job and an apartment, because he'll be out in a month. If you fear that that will put him into a relapse tailspin, think a minute: when will it ever end? He's got to start living an independent, adult life. You can't let fear of his relapse hold you hostage and, really, there's nothing better for him than that you push him out of the nest. His secure perch in the nest is, at 24, part of the problem.
