19. all i can say is- i feel ya. dealing w my son.

addiction isnt his problem, but all he wants to do is smoke weed all day to ward off the trauma of a childhood sexual assault.
the ex had been paying his rent, but he wouldnt work. so he cut him off. he does a little door dash.
he got into some legal trouble that he cant face, so that's the best he can do job-wise atm.

i'm gonna slip the guy he is living w some money, and swear him to secrecy about it.

is there any way they would give you power of attorney? you could make sure their bills are payed, and make other decisions that they cant make for themselves.

i understand why my kid doesnt want to see a shrink, or take meds, sorta. but i told him that until he finds a peer support group, he gets nothing.

whatever you do, tho, dont let them land on your couch. i dont know about the law where you live, but if you do that in illinois, you will have to give them 30 day notice if you want to get them out.

best of luck.
