[QUOTE="greenstockings, post: 638939, member: 17532"] difficult child has spent the entire week in his room, not speaking to us. He has unfriended several of his friends on Facebook and other social media. One of them contacted me because he was worried (he is the child of a good friend of mine....our sons have been friends since age 5). I told him he's done all he can do....he reached out and let difficult child know that he still cares. difficult child responded with "I have no friends." It's a "poor-me" party. Anyhow, husband and I have been insanely busy this week so we've basically just let difficult child rot in his room. We are going to write up a contract today with our expectations. There are several of them, including getting a job and helping out with the household duties. But when all is said and done, he's basically going to have to have a job in 60 days. If he does not, he will then receive a 30-day notice to vacate. I'm not sure whether to put "resume medications and therapy" in the contract. I feel like that's in his best interest, but it's not like he's schizophrenic. He has anxiety and depression. My husband has anxiety and depression and functions without medications (only because he's never found any medications that work with tolerable side effects), so I sort of feel like that should be a person's choice?
