[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 561842"] I'm so sorry you are going through this heartache. However, having him move out of the house was a good move. The disrespect, thievery, etc. was so very inappropriate and it is very hard, if not impossible to come back from that in any decent time frame. Would he be open to family therapy? Well...perhaps not any time soon, but perhaps down the road...and you might put a bug in his ear about that. Since he is still on the young side, you might offer to pay for individual counseling for him if and only if he is open to it and you pay directly to the therapist and you are 100% sure he is in attendance. YOu might give him some info re: food stamps, etc., but keep your help limited and your heart, soul and guts VERY limited. Good that you are getting some sort of therapy. Is this for you and your husband? If so, a great move. These things are very hard. Hopefully, in time, he will learn that the world is very tough out there all by ones lonesome. If you haven't done so already, you might consider groups like Families Anonymous for extra support...and find places and people who might be able to provide some spiritual guidance as well (as appropriate).
