I know mental disorders were pretty much taboo at the time you were raising your children, but have you considered what may be affecting your second son's achievements? Clearly, he is not unintelligent, since he did well on the LSAT. For example, does he have ADHD, which is difficulty organizing his thoughts and actions and can also affect speed and memory? I mention this because it's never too late to start an evaluation and a diagnosis. ADHD can be treated very successfully with medication. People with undiagnosed ADHD are sometimes described as lazy, unmotivated, not-getting-it-together types.

I'm not putting all of this mess on such a disorder. There are obviously expectations on their part regarding your money, which isn't pleasant.

What does the first son think? It's often hard for a successful sibling to watch the "failure" eating up all of his parent's money.

Anyway, I would first look to your own comfort. Are you sure of finding jobs here in the DC area? You mentioned you wanted to keep working. Are you sure you're going to find friends? You can't rely on your busy children for all of your social needs. I would think twice about selling and moving. Take your time.
