I always talk on SR about my daughter but I also have a son who was not doing well and I asked him to leave when he was 19. I kept invisioning a baby in a carseat in the middle of the street.. Like that movie Raising Arizona.However, he bummed off friends, smoked pot, tried dumpster diving, etc. I year later he has his own apartment and works 2 jobs. They are not as helpless as they seem. he also has deprssion and anxiety and will not take medication. I am glad I did not allow him to sulk around my house..I don't think he would be where he is now.
