[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 690746, member: 19951"] Lil- I am so sorry your Mothers gut feeling was right. Does he have to have an apartment? Can't he rent a room where others live? We have lot of those in our city. Rent is pretty cheap. You get a bedroom, shared kitchen and living spaces, usually cable, utilities included. As far as his rants about his life. I think he is having an ongoing- pity party. I think lot of it is a cop out. I think he also is insecure and lacks confidence. But pot will make you feel like that too. He says why bother to quit smoking when no one will hire him anyways. Another cop out. There are jobs out there that do not drug test. He says he calls and puts in applications and no one hires him. Do you know for a fact that he does this or is it just telling you what you want to hear. The only way you could check is to actually hand him an application, have him fill it out in front of you, and you drop it off. I don't know what to say, what words of advice to offer. I really wonder if he is smoking way too much pot. Until he is willing to get off that stuff until at least he can get a decent paying job, save money, get a room or apartment, it is just going to have the same ending. Yes, you are feeling lot of things, fear of what his life will be if he continues down this path. But, he really has to leave the nest, no matter what, so he can learn to fly. Yes, he may fall, many times, but, really, isn't that what he is doing now in your home? [/QUOTE]
