This is a throw away account for obvious reasons. I have a 26 year old Son we just kicked out of the house. It's a long story but this was pretty much strike 3. The last stint he managed gamefull employment over 5 months while at home and we thought he had turned the corner, but he quit his job we only know because we are friends with the owner of the company. It breaks my heart. He is now homeless , without any money. We live in a harsh climate and soon winter will be here. I know we can't keep enabling him. This time I want to stick to my guns. Last time we paid for a room for him for 5 months, bought groceries , etc. I know he has to sink or swim but if he sinks I will be devastated. From a parenting perspective he has had the exact same opportunities as his sibling (who now has a Masters degree and a great job). We have tried counseling that did not last. It's only been a few days and I feel like crying and taking him back - but I won't do the latter. I feel like an alcoholic in this in that I struggle every day and try and take it one day at a time. There is no answer to this, I just felt if I wrote some of it down it would help and maybe it has. Today is almost over , just need to get through tomorrow. Thanks for 'listening'. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2xXkVKD
