[QUOTE="KFld, post: 77061, member: 2442"] He figured this out because you weren't there to figure it out for him. Once you start to see the pattern of what he does for himself because you didn't do it for him, you will be very happy to do less and less for him. Maybe this person he is living with can be a positive influence on his life. Just hope this person doesn't do everything for him and allows difficult child to take on his own responsibilities. I wish husband did not tell him he could come back home if this doesn't work out. That makes it too easy for difficult child to give up and move back home as soon as this person he is living with disagrees with something he does or says. Our difficult child's don't need much of an excuse to change a situation into what they want it to be. I think you and husband should sit down and decide that he can't come back home ever. The best thing for him is to take responsibility for his own life. I know it's not easy, but I have been there done that and it works. [/QUOTE]
