[QUOTE="wastedpotential, post: 502142, member: 13601"] Sig, His group of friends are like him. Most of them sit around and get wasted all day, few of them work and if they do they're at crappy jobs. They all got thrown out of college like difficult child did. They are all being supported by their parents. All the kids he was friends with in HS who stayed in school and became productive adults, difficult child doesn't hang with them anymore. You're right, as soon as we fight the status quo, he does get hostile and confrontational. We always say that as long as difficult child is comfortable and getting his way, things are peaceful. His immediate plan is save for a car and then an apartment. He has a car that is on its way out. He thinks it will take 6 months, I don't see that happening. Step, I had difficult child when I was 23. We were married and both working full time paying our bills and raising our kid at his age so I hear you. And yes, he is using us. He says he doesn't need us but when he's short on cash until his next pay, he asks us. And we give it. Can't figure out how to quote on here but...your last sentence made me smile. Thank you.
