[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This man is 21, has never had a job, doesn’t attend college, does nothing. His parents (divorced) pay for everything he does; food, gas, car, phone, clothing. He bounces between his parents houses. What do they each gain from this? Why doesn’t he want to launch? Why do they finance his lifestyle? [/quote] He may be working through all sorts of things, hard to tell if minor and pinpointed-like due to the parents divorce, or if long standing-invisible disabilities, mental or learning or physical. Just ask him why he’s living at home. You’ll get some sort of spin or an honest answer. If you’re dating him, ask the tough questions. What kind of student was he, what did he do in HS, did he enjoy college, what ar who’s goals and when and steps towards achieving them. If he has no plan or plan that makes sense, stop dating. It will be a difficult future. [/quote]
