[QUOTE="witzend, post: 619709, member: 99"] I think that the letter is a good "jumping off" point for everyone. That doesn't mean you let him move back home. That means he's starting to see reality, and people [I]aren't[/I] knocking down his door to get him to come work for them. Are your parents willing to keep him until he gets a job and maybe some housing assistance? It won't kill him to share an apartment with someone. He can call Volunteers of America, Salvation Army, Goodwill, a local church program. There are any number of places that help him get job assistance and housing assistance at his age. I have to tell you, the letter he sent is one that some of us will never receive. I think that's hopeful on his part. I think it's probably manipulative to an extent, but it doesn't really change anything other than you got his attention and he realizes he has to make some changes. He [I]has not made those changes[/I] - yet. It wouldn't be happening in [I]my[/I] house, but you two are the ones making the decisions for yourselves. Keeping your 10yr easy child in mind, your difficult child would never be welcome to live in my home again, because he'd either be keep on keepin' on, or getting his act together and moving back with mom and little brother would be unnecessary.
