[QUOTE="Lil, post: 692078, member: 17309"] My vision of things, when he was a kid, was that he'd stay until he was ready to go...but not like he is. In an ideal world, he could have a room in the basement, privacy, live like a grown-up and pay us small rent until he had enough $ to get out on his own. But that kind of thing only works with other peoples kids. In our world? We give him $400 - ONCE - we can't afford it on an ongoing basis - and then what? He can't pay the next month. We let him stay - and then what? He won't stop hanging around with these losers. He won't stop doing the things he's always done because he believes that nothing will change - if he doesn't have them he'll be lonely. He makes it happen. I feel completely hopeless about it all.
