[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused. Does he live with you?

You shouldn't be having to support a grown man. Have you been fully supporting him since he was twenty? How did the situation get to this point?

How did your parents die?

This sounds like a nightmare.[/quote]

He probably has borderline personality disorder as a result of your parents death in his formative years. My sibling is the same.

Be aware he might get angry or suicidal when you make this change.

Do you own your house? I would honestly move in this scenario, tell him you need a different place as move out, and either sell or rent out old place. That way you both leave rather than you tossing him out.  If he kills himself realize this is not your fault, he is responsible for himself completely. [/quote]

Formative years? FFS he was 20 when the parents died. Already an adult. Cut him off. If you want try to communicate a deadline for specific actions.  But honestly if I were you I don’t think I’d feel safe living with him until the deadline. It’s difficult.[/quote]
