WOw! Obvious the family has been enabling him...and needs to stop believing him...he knows he has a problem...they dynamics are typical don’t you think?.. to those of famiy members attempting to help.
My son was staying with my other son after his marriage break up, (His fault of course), to help him get on his feet...three years later he was still there and would have continued to mooch had my other son not come to his senses and realized he was being played.
Now we wait...and continue to pray. Although my son and his wife do call him every few weeks... they advised me not to try and reach him because better he goes it alone.
Moms need to know you can’t fix what your kids break when they are adults....they have to.
You got it.
Man, I never once asked my parents for money.
I’d live in a cardboard box before that happens.
