[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 633725, member: 1550"] I was about to say that your son probably sold the computer for drugs. I have a bigger question. Why on earth is this family living with you? Your son is almost thirty. Does he work, pay rent, help with chores, treat you with respect? Even if my kid did all those good things, living with me at 27 and dragging the whole crew with him would not work. Have you thought about making them leave for good? He has put you through enough. I'm sure you did all you can to help and it isn't working. You have other children and loved ones who need you healthy both mentally and physically. You also owe it to yourself to be happy. To live the way you do is madness. If it were me (I know it's not), but they'd be gone as fast as they could blink. Your seventeen year old isn't in a good place either. He doesn't need this older brother causing trouble and influencing badly. Hon, you should go to a twelve step meeting or see a private therapist. It's time for YOU to be good to YOU. Just because we give birth to them, we are not obligated to support them and house them after they become adults. That ship has sailed. Time for him to grow up and sink or swim. Do you want to be busted for having heroin in your house? If it's your residence, you can be arrested along with him if the police get ahold of that information. Yikes! GET THEM OUT OF THERE. JMO. Hugs for your hurting heart and all the pain. Didn't you post once before? [/QUOTE]
