HEY TEKE!!!
Great to hear from you - you know I have been praying for you!!
You have gotten (as we always do) great responses here from our SR family and I agree - HIS emotional welfare as a 27 yr old is NOT your responsibility - serve an eviction notice on your Mr. Guilt Monster!!!!!
Your Step-son may also be drawn to you and your home because he feels that connects him to his dad (I don't know that for sure - I'm definitely NOT a professional - it just makes sense to me - I know I want to go certain places somedays because it feels closer to my step-dad who passed away several yrs ago)
But again - it is NOT your responsibility.
You must also take care of YOURSELF.
You can be kind but firm with him.
Honey, I know you have the stength, couarge and wisdom to do this!!!
PINK HUGS to you!!!!
