[QUOTE="kenazfehu, post: 723099, member: 22470"] Very similar issues, except that our son is 38. He spends a lot of time complaining he's sick, barely leaving his bed, in a room so filthy that it would make anybody sick to be in there. I figured out a long time ago that I can't help somebody who won't help himself, but I can't figure out how to get from here to where I need to be. Every once in awhile, he gets up, cleans his room, and spends a few days being productive with a woodworking hobby. I get so hopeful during those days, but it never lasts. He's had substance abuse issues in the past, but since he doesn't work and doesn't go anywhere, I don't think he's using drugs now. I'm sure he would if somebody would supply them for free. Anyway, just posting in solidarity. I think I need to seek out some counseling. I really can't go on this way. My spouse prefers avoidance. When I bring up the situation, he says something like "don't dwell on it". [/QUOTE]
