[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 685055, member: 18516"] Welcome Madmom, I'm glad you found us here. Your story is a familiar one. It's a tough situation when someone else is the one who enabling our adult child. It compounds it when it's a family member. Perhaps you can try a different line of dialog with your mom. Instead of telling her to kick him out, ask questions, why is she allowing your son to steal from her and live in her house without contributing? Has he threatened her in some way to keep her silence? Ask her if she would put up with this kind of behavior from a stranger. I don't know how old your mom is but if you feel she is not making sound decisions you may want to contact her Dr. and share your concerns. If your mom is of sound mind then you will just have to step back. As you know, you can't control what your son does nor can you control what your mom does. I wish I had a magic answer for you. When you have a difficult adult child it's just never easy no matter what the situation. I'm glad you're here with us. You will find support on these pages from others who know what it's like. ((HUGS)) to you................. [/QUOTE]
