[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 704126, member: 1550"] You may want to post on the Parent Emeritus forum because it's for adult kids over 18 and this is for minor children. You'll get a bigger response there. Your son is not living at your home. That's probably good for your nerves. A 21 year old who is not in college shouldn't need financial assistance. If he won't work then it is best in my opinion not to give him anything. I assume he is able bodied. Financially spoiling a 21 year old. In my opinion, is a mistake. They may become lazy and entitled and refuse to grow up, believing you will fund their lives forever. Are drugs in the picture? Often drugs, especially pot, cause an extreme lack of motivation. Other drugs are dangerous and our adult kids do lie and steal for money to use them. Working is difficult for them due to drug testing and the lack of interest in anything except the drugs. Can you share more of his story? [/QUOTE]
