I just saw a post from a real estate guy, who said that the parents actually sold the house, changed their phone number, and did not provide their new address! While the guy posting it said that he felt sorry for the guy, who was essentially left homeless, I suspect that it was a move of desperation! Anyone remember the case of Michael Rodondo!
I have son 40 years old he is living with me since the pandemic and doesn’t want to move out ,he is alcoholic and smoke pot all the time ,doesn’t hold jobs last job was 6 months ago he last in that job only 4 months then collecting unemployment and i am 71 alone living in senior community he never pay in 3 years anything and i can’t make him move at all he doesn’t help me at all i have to cook do his laundry clean because I don’t want my place to be dirty or smelling but i cry everyday feel hopeless .
I have the same story. Basically I have to continue to tell myself "I AM NOT HELPING THEM" by allowing them to stay with me. IT IS NOT HELPING MY ADULT KID!!! I text them they have 4mons to move. Month 2, must give me $80 a week. After 2nd missed payment eviction starts. The money is to help them move out. I'm trying to help if they want, if not they still got to go. I AM NOT HELPING THEM BY ALLOWING GROWN KIDS TO STAY. MANY REASONS, ENABLER, LOSE OF RESPECT, STUT GROWTH, KILLING ME, COST, MANY REASONS ((IF I DON'T DO THIS I'M NOT HELPING THEM))) will see if i can love them to life.
My son will be 21 next month and wont do anything except stay in his room. He has anxiety issues and refuses to see his dr or take meds. If I kick him out he will be homeless and I dont think he can make it on the streets. He has had 2 breakdowns and that scares me if I kick him out he'll end up in a mental hospital again but he refuses to get any help. I dont know what to say or do anymore. I just want him to at least want to make an effort..but he has no motivation. My youngest son just turned 15 and is the total opposite, very independent, always looking for odd jobs to make money and cant wait to get a job at 16 and get his drivers license. He also tries to motivate his brother but my 20 yr old just gets mad and goes to his room.

I feel your pain! My son is 22. He now has a job. But won’t learn to drive and I have to drive him everywhere. I need help too! Prayers for us both! He smokes and I can’t take it. He has Crohn’s disease and has had several tragedies in his life. I’m 50 and recently divorced and want to move on with my life: but can’t yet.😩
@@avamichellejohnson7050 hello...so sorry to hear that! one day at a time and hopefully things will get better...my mother told me to pack up and leave the state r move out and let them have my house and see what they'll do!?? Lol....I love them dearly but it's well over time for them to flap their wings and fly away...well over do...best wishes to U and prayers....
Do you own or rent? If you rent make sure your boys are on the rental agrement. Then give your landlord notice and move out. Landlord must remove your name, consult a lawyer if you want. That way the boys are responsible for rent. Make sure you cancell your utilities too.
Im so sorry and i feel your pain. I have two boys my youngest 21 has a lovely girlfriend and works and is tidy and respectful. My eldest is 26, doesnt work, hides himself away and makes no effort to help or support the houshould. Im now single nearly 50, work every hour god sends and i just want quiet and not to have to look after a 26 year old. I prey to god for help dont know how much longer i can survive like this 😥
Dr. Clarke , My parents have been letting my brother live with them for a long time he's almost 30 no driver's license no car no job the only thing he pays for is his phone. He's brought his gf there and her cats. They don't help around the house they pile dishes the litter box is filthy trash everywhere garbage overflowing. My parents pay all the bills and bring food into the house. While my brother sleeps all day I build houses so yesterday I asked my brother you wanna help at work I'll pay you and get you lunch. "No he says he's too tired and doesn't feel like it" 😒 I'm so worried he's going to beat on my parents again. He's vile and my parents fear him so they just let him and his gf who is also abusive stay. they have no money to kick him out through the courts. What should I do? He's not even on their lease is there another way? I know if I call the police the police won't be able to do anything unless he puts his hands on my parents again. I don't really know where else to turn and is it any of my business? Well I do help my parents with their bills at times seeing as they're on a fixed income. Any insight would be nice thank you.
Reverse psychology? Ask them to do all the things you’d ask a buddy to do. Try to be their friend - a hovering parent - criticize everyone they are friends with ( no ones good enough for your baby) ask them on all the family’s vacations - have them in all your selfies - have them sign all the family birthday cards etc - ask them to plan Christmas / thanksgiving meals together- knock on their door and ask them what their plans are today / this week- hang up photos of all the good times - soon they’ll be ready to fly the coop. Then be ready for the “ soiling of the nest” phase - they have to insult you and your home and town in order to want to leave . So be ready for that ! Maybe even insult the family - the family values - but it happens . Good luck
I have 2 Daughters 23 & 24 refuse to move out we've been going over this for the past 3 years already they gave me the deadline of June and now it's come and gone. Idk what to do
Our son has Asperger's and it has been a long hard road. But we have been supporting our son to finish school and get a job. He's doing really well. However we are having lots of trouble getting him to move. We bought him an apartment!! So he has somewhere to move to. But he won't. He's 23.
I have an adult child who has a full time job above min wage who has decided I should let her live in my house rent free & eat my food & her $ is her business to spend as she pleases.
Make them give you a monthly amount that you will put into a savings account for them. When they leave they get 100% of it. It is a way for them to build up a deposit or down payment.
In some states like the one I live in, adult children have legal rights if they live in your house past 30 days. So you have to take legal action to evict your adult child. It can be costly really quick.
Maybe the adult child is looking at jobs, and the companies they are considering will not allow them to choose (or at the very least, inform them of) where they are going to be working before they are hired. This means that the adult child might be working at a location just a couple of towns over, or they could be working several hours away. Their commute could be anywhere from a 5 minute car ride, to a 5 hour flight. If this is the case, then they might feel like it will be too stressful, or won't make sense to move into one house or apartment, only to find out shortly thereafter, that they have been hired for one of the companies they have been looking at, and will have to pack all of their belongings up again, and move several hours away. This is the case with me (I haven't applied anywhere recently, but I have been looking at such companies), and so I am waiting to move out, until I hear back from one of the companies that I have been considering (If I like one of the job descriptions enough, and end up applying and interviewing). In the meantime, I do buy a large portion of my own groceries, and sometimes, I even buy groceries for my family (I am currently working in a grocery store, so that makes it easier for me to do so).
My grandparents are asking me what to do with my brother. They enabled for years. He is 25 and barely got a stable job. However he is disrespectful amongst many other things. Can they still do this method if we believe he is “crazy.” He has issues and we are unsure whether he is slightly paranoid due to his brain chemistry or all the weed he smokes.
Dr Clark, can you make suggestions for helping an adult child who does have Aspergers? I want my son to be able to get out on his own for his own sake, but I don't know how to help him with that. He has 2 part time jobs, helps around the house, pays his own bills plus a little bit of rent. How do I know how much he can handle and how hard to push? He has a 4 year degree that took him many years to accomplish. He's 34. He says he wants to get his masters, but month after month he just keeps studying and won't take the next step. What should I do?
It’s not that easy to kick your adult child out of your house. First you have to give that child adult a thirty day written notice to vacate the property then if they still refuse to leave this is where it goes to an eviction notice from the courts. This takes time. Usually sixty day all in including the written thirty day notice. So for that sixty days make that grown child’s life a living hell. When the time has come for the child adult to leave and they refuse that’s when law gets involved. In other words call the police and force that adult child out. Change the locks. If you feel threatened by that person get a court order. A stay away order. This is so hard to do. We liove our children. But we must stop enabling them.
1:02 I wish people would stop referring to work in a bad way, work fixes men in most cases. It forces them to solve problems and socialize to some degree. I think referring to people as "working stiffs in the real world" is negative and fails to show the potential benefits of work, I'm positive men need work the same way they need oxygen.

Thank you Dr. Clark. Having this issue with my 32 year old son. No job, no motivation...just play video games and smoke pot. ☹️
Just sell your house and move. Don't take him with you. Tell him that he 's on his own once the house is sold. Don't give him your new address.

If he's been violent in the past maybe a protection order is needed. Then he would have to move out.
Need more practical tips on how to get them out. I can’t get them to do dishes, let alone get them to move out.
