[QUOTE="witzend, post: 341838, member: 99"] If everyone agrees that he would benefit from counseling, and he won't go, it's time to start cutting off the things that make it easy for him not to go. I'm not clear where he is living? Is he at home? I understand that you want to feed him and keep him warm and dry. If that is what you want to do, none of us would say you shouldn't. However, if he makes you uncomfortable, you do not owe him comfort. It's a really big step, so you probably need to find your own comfort level first. What are you comfortable with? Start small and see if he's willing to work with you. There's no reason to go all in if a small change will sink the boat. But when you are fearful and dumbstruck in your own home, you have to do something protect yourself. No one should live like that. [/QUOTE]
