[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 758228, member: 15032"] Trying, you are wearing yourself out trying to fix him, say the right thing etc. I've done it too. Until he decides to change his life, there is nothing, literally nothing you can do to help him "get better". He isn't ready to take responsibility for his life it seems. I think moving him into your home would be enabling him and he may stay this way forever. There have been some mothers on this board that have 40 year olds like that. I don't think that's what you want. I know I did not want that for my son and mostly for ME. I don't know what the answer is but he is trying to get the cart before the horse. Unless he's mentally healthy, he probably won't have friends or a real girlfriend. I don't think many young woman these days want to be with someone that has an addiction problem unless they are an addict themselves. I'm speaking about my son here too when I say that. I will pray for you and your son. When he gets sick and tired of living this way he will change. Don't let him take you down the rabbit hole. [/QUOTE]
