[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 758402, member: 24721"] Yes, he is independent - to a degree. He lives in a house (with three friends), which his father and I own. We bought it (took out a mortgage) so he would have a safe place to live. They pay us rent and so far haven't missed a month - they've been there since March. We have an agent who they pay rent to and who doesn't inspections of the house, and so far so good! He has a full time job and a girlfriend, so on the surface all looks good, but there have been "incidents" - he has depressive episodes and "meltdowns" - where things like his phone get broken. so far, the only reason I know about the incidents is because he told me about the phone breakage (twice in a month - sigh). My husband was supposed to go visit to fix an internal door lock in the house but he contacted me on Facebook to say tell dad not to come because I'm not having a good day. He is avoiding us - we haven't seen him in the flesh for a couple of months, even though he lives nearby - and I am almost certain he is self-medicating. I tell myself this isn't my business unless he asks for my help. He is almost 25. His girlfriend is lovely (and sensible) I have contacted her a couple of times just to ask if he is okay, but I don't want to abuse that relationship. And as I said, I'm trying my best to detach from all the drama. I have two other sons - both who are high achieving and no problem. They (especially my middle son) do not get along with their brother and do not want to spend time with him. I don't blame them... [/QUOTE]
