[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 562739"] You have to do what you feel is right. He is of age, but since he is under 21, it might be a good idea to provide a little help if you are able and if it wont hurt you to do so. So, a phone call here and there, an opportunity for counseling (should he be willing to attend, you can afford it and he is definately willing to go and for sure is going), advise on where shelters are located, how to obtain food stamps, a cell phone with minimum minutes (no texting or long distance). If things are as bad as they seem, you are under no obligation to do more than that and in my humble opinion, at 21, I would even consider [B]not[/B] doing even that, if he does not change/improve significantly. I personally extend a little help to age 21 only because our difficult children seem to be, for lack of a better word, immature or delayed and this might help them to safety. Do not tolerate him calling you nasty names and get off the phone immediately if he does so. And of course, if he is ever violent, [U][I]VERY SERIOUSLY [/I][/U]consider calling the police. Who knows if it is every going to end. It might take a VERY long time or it might not ever happen. It is good if you are going to counseling. This is a very tough burden. Take very good care of YOURSELF. [/QUOTE]
