[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 727751, member: 15032"] Welcome You have already gotten great advice here so not much than I can add except that we are only responsible for ourselves. We are NOT responsible for our adult children's choices. Period. If you worry what he will do if you evict him, that will cripple you from moving forward. Our "kids" are more resourceful than we think. Your son is way past the age that he should be living at home with you tiptoeing around him. What about YOUR fun? What about YOUR marriage? What about YOUR life? I agree that seeing a therapist would be very helpful for you. That is what I did and she helped me to set healthy boundaries. Our son needed this as much as we did. If we did not, we knew he would not change. You found this forum so you seem to be ready to take some action. This forum helped us to do that and we have been enjoying our life again since our son has been gone working on himself. He has hit many hurdles but he keeps getting up and trying and that's all we can ask. We love our troubled adult children and we are all trying to find ways to cope. Good luck and glad you found us!
