[QUOTE="1905, post: 445592, member: 2668"] They won't have any motivation whatsoever to change. They are truly fine with the status quo. You need to change what you're doing. They need to be motivated to get a job. Not having food or a place to live is good motivation. They may have burned all their bridges because they always had you as a fallback. Things have to be uncomfortable for them. I had to kick my son out at age 18, it was hard, it was very hard for him, but if I didn't do that- he would still be laying on my couch saying, "Why should I?' when we told him to get a job. It was ugly for him. It took him awhile for him to get his act together. But....this is the only thing that helped any of us. Don't worry what others think about you- all of my relative thought we were awful people for kicking our own son out, and maybe they still do. My husband and I don't regret it, and you won't either, SAVE YOURSELF, they will save themselves. And in the future you'll have a good relationship. This is just my experience.
