[quote=Anonymous]Parents are in this situation with my brother. He does have a professional job and his own place, but depends on parents for all emotional support and meals, laundry, etc. Insisted on getting an apt only 5 minutes away, and spends every moment not at work at their home bouncing from one mental health crisis to another. He has severe anxiety and depression, no friends, and makes frequent suicide threats. Parents have tried to set boundaries, but it's resulted in him losing jobs (which is the only good thing he has in his life) so they continue to enable. It's easy from the outside to think you have all the answers, but it isn't that simple. The other adult children in the family are all completely independent and successful, so not so easy to paint this as a "parenting problem." [/quote]
