[QUOTE="Mirabelle, post: 763699, member: 28712"] Nomad and In A Daze...........thank you. My stepson is 22, and woefully immature and naive for his age, although of course all 22 year olds are babies really. Your suggestion about paying for his housing and handing over the rest is something we have decided to do, starting today. My husband says after handing over that cash he feels he has seen his son for the last time. I pray to God this isn't true. I am hoping the converse will happen and he will realize that he can't continue to behave the way he does if he wants interaction with his family. This will be very hard for my husband. The phone calls will start again in a few days, even though he was handed several hundred dollars this morning. He got robbed, beaten up, he's homeless, he's hungry, how can we leave him on the street to die etc. etc. I told my husband he won't hear this garbage if he is not listening ie. do not pick up the phone. But we will see. We actually have a NarAnon group which is very supportive. My husband has set and stuck to certain boundaries as we have gone along in this journey, but I feel that it is time to raise the bar and as you said, In A Daze, [I]not overreact to our kid's antics.[/I] Hugs to you both.
