[QUOTE="Fran, post: 14893, member: 3"] He has a membership to the Y. He has a treadmill at the apt. complex. I provide 1700 cal/day meals. I don't think eating is the issue because he has no food but what is provided. We have offered to walk with him. 22yr old son is a little different than a 56 yr sister.I'm not really responsible for my sister. Letting him die doesn't seem a reasonable option. Making his life and everyone else's miserable doesn't seem like a reasonable option either. I keep hoping if he gets another job that he will at least be up and walking. When I asked him yesterday if he ever thought he might walk on the treadmill for 30 min. he said he didn't want to make me angry but he didn't think so. I even tried mother guilt to manipulate him which I seldom do but this is his life. Katmom, I don't know if I could live with it if I didn't do anything and I don't know if I could stand it to fight with him over one more thing. My husband and I are physically active from bikes, to skiing, to hiking etc. It seems he didn't get all that stuff when we did it with him. Thanks for the feedback katmom and ants mom. [/QUOTE]
