[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 713847, member: 1550"] Your son is in his 40s and able bodied. He doesnt have to live on the street, but if that is his choice, he will survive. I have a 39 year old son and he is difficult but knows better than to not work or get thrown in jail because he would be on his own. I have expectations of adults of that age, even my son. The excuses, the pity parties....you are 39, find ways to help yourself. I cant live forever and you have a Mother now, not a Mommy. I have been in therapy for years and, boy, it REALLY helped me. Many here go for help. To learn what we can do to help yourself. There is nothing we can do for our adult offspring who want us to baby them even in middle age. You cant be young. It is time for you to travel, make new friends, enjoy old friends and family who are kind to you, find new and old hobbies, garden, exercise, sing, dance be at peace in your own home. If your son wants to be homeless, he will turn street smart and also find various gullible people who will let him couch surf for a while. There are food pantries and shelters. They learn where they are when on the street. The homeless community is close and helpful to one another. That is a comfort. Maybe being homeless will give Son a kick start to get a job, or at least apply to collect welfare and food stamps and find section 8 housing. He is smart enough to do that. Meanwhile you need serenity and happiness. I hope you get a therapist and go after peace. [/QUOTE]
