[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 673099, member: 1967"] TL, I have been hesitant to respond because I am not the best example of what I am going to say. I think that you need to cut off all financial support. He is an adult and should be working and supporting himself financially. Unfortunately, he seems like my daughter who would rather coast and be unproductive as long as you are willing to pay for his needs. I know that it took me a long time to get to that point but looking back now I see that we were really crippling our daughter because we were not treating her like an adult. We were reinforcing the idea that she couldn't take care of herself. Thanks to two years of therapy, my husband and I finally got to the point where we said no more money. Period. It wasn't easy but she finally got the message and is now working and has stopped asking us for money. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
