[quote=Anonymous]Parenting is done when they are impressionable children, at 25, there is little you can do.

Obvious thing is to convince him to seek therapy, medication or meditation to find some inner peace and strong mental health before focusing on anything else.

I guess a life altering change can be helpful in seeing world differently, like helping him go to Europe for study, english teaching, mission, peace corp or some similar program can remove him from his echo chamber and expose to new experiences.

If that's not acceptable then you can move to a scenic rural area and invite him to move there and start a family business with you. New and calmer environment and exciting new opportunities can help with a mental shift.

As far as blaming yourself, its natural but unproductive. There is only so much parents can do, specially if mental health issues and outside influences are effecting him.

I'm sorry if its too simplistic but that's all I can think of for your situation. I hope someone else can come up with better suggestions.
