[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 641408, member: 18366"] I don't understand why you won't put him out of the house at all. It seems, at great financial expense to the rest of your family, you have tried EVERYTHING to help him and he just WON'T HELP HIMSELF. From what you are saying, it seems since he already is hanging with the homeless crowd he won't be too uncomfortable. Right now YOUR PROBLEM is that he is WAY TOO comfortable, with YOUR HOME, YOUR MONEY, and WHATEVER ELSE HE CAN STEAL! Plus since he is not working - he is not paying child support for your grandchildren. Unless you are one of the 1% and can spend unlimited money throwing it AT the problem there is nothing you can do but save yourself/family first. Sorry, but even though you don't want to hear it - unless you are willing to support another grown adult for the rest of your life difficult child needs to go! It is a good step to be here asking for support here, but from what you are saying, the son isn't the problem per-Se, it is the family is living in co-dependency that is unwilling to get the help to move this selfish, self centered person off the games/computer/couch/bed and out into the real world of consequences for his actions/non-actions. You are being held hostage in your own home and more than likely being victimized there as well. Yes, mental, emotional, and financial abuse is ABUSE as it is in any other relationship. If this were your spouse/partner, would you still be putting up with this kind of abuse or would you say they got to go? [/QUOTE]
