[QUOTE="Stress Bunny, post: 627381, member: 4855"] Everything Echo said. While you cannot change others, at least you have recognized the issue for what it is. Knowledge is power. Now you have the power to make decisions that support and protect you and your wife. At 37, it sounds like this adult difficult child has made a lifestyle of mooching parasitically off of your wife's parents. He has zero motivation to get a job because his current situation is working just fine for him. The problem is that it's not working fine for everybody else. In fact, he is hurting others emotionally, physically, and financially. Until your wife's parents come to realize that they are enabling this behavior, they will allow it to continue. Contrary to their beliefs, they are not helping him at all, but keeping him as he is, in this mooching state of existence. As Echo mentioned, consider all of this, and make your decisions carefully.
