[quote=Anonymous]I think there might be a DSM definition for it one day, just as there’s one for hoarding. There are underlying conditions like maybe depression or anxiety or what not. My ex’s uncle is a failure to launch in another country. Has a low paid job, lives with his mom, doesn’t do squat except being on his computer. His half brother, my ex FIL, is completely “normal”. His younger son, my ex’s half brother, however, was considered a FTL for the longest time until he actually did. He didn’t live with parents but they helped him out, he dropped out of college and lost multiple jobs etc. He is now married with kids and has a high paying job and owns a home. I am quite worried for my son who just seems a likely candidate for FTL. He is a homebody, doesn’t have many friends, gets average grades unless he is pushed, doesn’t really have a passion. He is still young though, and I don’t have a lot of money or a basement where he could dwell. So maybe it will all work out. [/quote]
