[quote=Anonymous]Op I don’t have adult children so I don’t think I can comment on the conversations and potential boundaries for moving out, though I think your gut is probably right on this one and him staying likely won’t be good for your relationship either. So though it might be hard supporting him in taking the next step is probably the right thing. But I did want to comment on the posters saying anxiety because I read that very much through your post - it really seems like he is likely anxious and that was why he avoided the interview. He may not be able to fully identify this, but I would be surprised if that wasn’t a factor. I think you could also link a plan/timeline to move out with an offer to couple that with helping him pay to see a therapist (and when/if he’s open and if the hereapist recommends considering it, maybe meds) and at some point you could help with a career coach that helps prep for interviews. This really helped my husband and his confidence when he was interviewing as his anxiety really revs up with job stuff and he does exactly the same - complains about his job, but is frozen in making a change and avoids it because he knows the interviews make him very nervous and he greatly fears the potential rejection [/quote]
