[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 603504, member: 13558"] Sadly, so many of them will not try to help themselves until they are forced to. What would he do if something happened today that neither you or your wife could take care of him anymore. There is no doubt in my mine that my 35yo son would be living on my sofa if I allowed it. It is a difficult situation, but, I would be looking for assisted living (or some other living arrangements) for him. There are a great number of books 'out there' and one I read made me really look at my enabling. As long as you continue to do for him he does not have the motivation to do anything for himself. If you can afford therapy it is really worth it. Look for support groups in your area. It is a very difficult situation to be in (we all know that on this forum) but until you start to change he will not. He is comfortable just like he is, even if it is a bad situation.
