My brother has been retired for a few years now but wants to go back to work in another town and live in a motel just to get away from his home. The reason is that he has a 47 year old son living in the basement that has no job. This son has been on/off drugs for a few years and has entered rehab programs but they don't seem to help. He doesn't help at home and has swore often at my brother. The problem is that his "lifestyle" is totally supported by the bum's mother. My advice to my brother has been "tough love." I have told him that his son must be forced out of the house. I recommended that my brother pays 2 months rent for an apartment and buy a few groceries. Tell the son that his job now will be to seek employment. If he fails to find employment then perhaps he might apply for welfare. Macdonald's, Tim Horton and other Mac places always seem to be hiring. Anyone here know of this type of problem with family or neighbours? I sure would love to hear your views on this.
