[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Failure to Launch should have been what I wrote.  Sorry, I goofed.  We have tried hard to address their needs their whole lives.  They have always been reluctant to work.  They don’t feel like the rules of life apply to them.  I have zero contempt for my sons.  I love them very much.  We are just exasperated.  We would always help them with mental health issues if they asked us to.  They do not believe that they have any mental health issues and get very annoyed if we suggest it.

The other kids see what goes on and let us know loud and clear that they feel we have given them too much financial support and too much energy.

We are now at a time where we both have unwell parents as well as other stressors that require our attention.  Obviously, we made mistakes as parents.  We did not push them out the door at 18, 20, 22, etc.  At their ages, with the school and financial support they received, we just have to draw some lines.  Their attitudes while living with us let us know 
that things weren’t heading in a good direction.  We are not going to be treated poorly by grown men.  Thanks for all the feedback.  [/quote]

When you said they ere always a handful, I assumed they had learning disabilities. Did they struggle in school? [/quote]
