[QUOTE="witzend, post: 360695, member: 99"] It's definitely harder to disengage when they're living with you. It's true, he might just go to jail. Maybe he'll hate it so bad that he won't want to go back and he'll decide to get a job. It does sound like low self-esteem, but you can't make a person like themselves better. They have to take that first step. Making a counseling appointment for him won't work if he doesn't want it, so he's kind of stuck in a rut. Do you have any minimum standards for him living in your home? Maybe a counselor could help you decide what is appropriate place to start. [/QUOTE]
