[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 696411, member: 13303"] He is an adult. Why are you and your husband treating him like a helpless child? When he is forced to grow up and accept responsibility, he will. If he needs to work to eat, he will work. Who pays for the apartment? In addition to seeking counseling for yourself and your husband, if he will go, to assist you in letting go of your adult child, you may wish to seek out Codependents Anonymous meetings in your area. This is a free 12 step support group assisting people who have trouble saying no to loved ones, and who continue enabling the poor life choices of loved ones even when they know they need to stop. I apologize if this sounds harsh. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
