[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 721438, member: 1550"] RN, he will grow up. Slower thsn usual, but he will. You wont let him stay young. At least he will support himself. My Bart was so slow to grow up and is now 40 and still overly dependent on me. Seriously, he is 40 and calls md every day, and will not do squat to improve his chaotic state of mind. I am fortunate that he works and pays his bills, but it is sad (and tedious) to hear day after day how his court case and ex are ruining his life (yet claim he cant afford therapy). This is a man who spends hundreds or thousands of dollars on videogames, 80 in. televisions and the like. His father pays his legal bills, although Bart makes close to six figures. He is a loving father, but his entire life is the son who he sees half the time. He wont try to make friends, find other interests besides videogames (a bit old for this obsession???), or exercise at all. He tells me he precers to stay home rather than go do ativities. A perfect weekend to him is gamig 24/7. It is on Bart. He is miserable because he doesnt listen to anyone and wont get help. There is nobody as unlucky as him (his mindset) but he will do nothing to have a better life...to deal with his lawsuit over custody any better. And his ex will probably keep him in court until son is 18. He needs to learn to handle this situation better. It has been going on for five years. It is incredily frustrating, even without drugs. Bart has always been nervous, stressed, angry and sometimes abusive, but he is not anywhere as near asbusive as he was in the horrible twenties and teens! I think they do all get better or WE do!!
