[quote=Anonymous]Somewhat similar story here, OP. Parents supported failure to launch brother for years. When they died a few years ago, he was completely on his own (lives in another state), homeless, couch surfing, getting in trouble. I had no idea what would happen to him but I could not support him and was not willing to help after the way I saw him take advantage of our parents for decades. I believe he has at the very least undiagnosed ADHD as well as clinical level paranoia, but he always refused to seek treatment. Lo and behold, he got into a shelter, which led to a part-time job there, which got him some other type of housing assistance. Now he lives in an apartment (think it must be subsidized or something) and still works at the shelter. Even has a phone he can use to text me. He is managing this bare minimum level of adulting for the first time in his 40s. Has not asked me for a dime. Sometimes people just have to hit rock bottom.[/quote]
