[quote=Anonymous] OP, If you are still reading this, you have to realize that there is not perfect solution, and that what these parents are implementing are perhaps all they are capable of doing. My nephew is similarly troubled, and it has wrecked my BIL and SIL's marriage (which wasn't strong to begin with). He, too, stays home in his early twenties and will probably be enabled and supported all his life. But is it really enabling when there is no other solution? You need to accept that this is their life. The younger brother needs to move away as soon as he is able to, otherwise he will never have a functional life. If he talks to you about this, don't encourage him to resent his brother or his parents. If he is less troubled than his older brother, he is the one that has to make the grater effort to move and make his life his own. It doesn't sound fair, but life is not fair. [/quote]
