[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 126709, member: 1550"] I would post this on parents emeritus, for parents of grown kids. Most of these parents just aren't at the point yet of having adult children who still have serious problems. But one thing I can tell you, at his age, if he doesn't want to get help, nobody can force him to get it. He's "of age." He could always decide to move elsewhere, and get a job, in an area that's not real expensive. That way he can settle down away from his bad influences and learn to take care of himself. He WILL gain self-esteem from that. However, sounds like he has serious alcohol issues and he'd need to stop drinking. There are programs for that, but at his age he'd have to agree to go into them. Has he gone to social services to see if he qualifies for any help? Does he have a diagnoses? That can help get help as an adult. [/QUOTE]
