[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 728998, member: 1963"] This is what makes me so vehement about these situations: I had an aunt who died in her late 70's. She had two sons in their 50's who never launched. Both lived at home with my aunt. When she died, they lived off her insurance money until that was gone, lived off what they could make from menial jobs for a while after that, but one died in his late 50s of heart disease and the other died at 61 of renal failure. They were NOT drug users or alcoholics, or in any way criminals. They simply could not live without their mother who had cared for them since birth and never forced them to learn how to take care of themselves. It was a very sad situation, and what comes to my mind whenever I read of children who don't fly the nest on time. [/QUOTE]
