[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 81720, member: 1233"] Courage, a couple of things occur to me. Number ONE is that you are NOT responsible for what your 24 yo son does. If he drinks, it is HIS job. Do you and your husband think you will let him live at home for long with no job if he is drinking? If he is sober and has no job? Have you been to any al-anon meetings? They were designed for people in your situation. HAs your daughter actually invited him? Is she upset about things that happened at home, or away from home, with him? Could she be staying away because she does not want to comment on her older bro, or see him doing what she may think of as taking advantage? Did he abuse her when she lived at home? She may be staying away because that. She may also just feel a need to move on to a new phase and be all wrapped up in her own self. Could you go do girl things with her, or couple things you and husband and her and fiance? Where you would not see or talk about the older bro? Just some thoughts that occur to me. Hugs, I know you miss your baby girl, Susie [/QUOTE]
