[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 618410, member: 4152"] Of course you are right. He is 30......?.... This has gone on too long. Talk with your mom. Cut him off. Encourage him to get a job (or more hours???h and maybe offer him some small, well thought out incentive if he gets one and keeps it for six months; like a dinner out. (And things are still going well at the six month mark!) But quickly and swiftly move away from all of this. Read the book recommended and anything else you can get your hands on regarding enabling. He will feel so much better about himself if and when he learns to be self supportive. If he is rude to you, don't speak to him AT ALL until he can get his act together.The fact that he stole from the people who love him and have been so giving to him says a lot! Good that you called the police. That says a lot too. Let him know you expect better of him. Let's see if he understands things have changed, you expect him to do better and wont settle for anything less. [/QUOTE]
