Just a thought.
We aren't paying for his therapist and psychiatrist, the government is. One thought I've had is to pay the entrance fee and first three weeks of his rent in a local halfway house and cut him off after that. They give them 1 week to find a sponser and 2 weeks to get a job. I would HOPE we'd have the courage to tell him no more money at that point.
