[quote=Anonymous]I have two post HS kids who both currently live with me. I intend to retire and move in 3-& years so there is a hard deadline to get out. But I actually don’t care if the come with us it’s just that they have lives here and we don’t intend to stay in the area.

The younger of the two is very difficult. Probably stems from mental health issues that are treated but not as successfully as I would like. Anyway, we’ve worked hard to make a bad situation livable. Part is not expecting him to contribute to the household. If you have no expectations, there is no disappointment. But we did set some non negotiable house rules and helped him problem solve how he can successfully live within these rules.  And the remaining four of us have kind of built a life that doesn’t really include him. He’s welcome to join us but no one, him included, works to make that happen very often.  It has gotten better with age and i am not ready to give up. But I’m not all that hopeful anymore. [/quote]
