[QUOTE="MrMike, post: 708926, member: 16687"] SomewhereOutThere, thanks for your advice. I agree with it. I know I need to do it. I know it is right. Being honest though, I guess I must view him as helpless, because I always feel like if we kick him out he won't be able to survive. He is so messed up in his thinking that it seems to me that he will die out there from exposure or hunger, or stubbornness to change. I guess I must have a desire to care for him until I know he can care for himself. And since he shows no ability to care for himself, I feel like I need to take care of him. I know this is ridiculous, believe me, I know it is. He is 26 years old! I guess I feel that because of his mental illness, he is not capable of taking care of himself. It's so hard to do what is needed to be done. Just being honest. More counseling for me is needed I think, to allow me to come to grips with my failure to enforce rules and allow him to get away with treating us like this. [/QUOTE]
