Welcome to the board Insane.

Welcome to the board Insane. Doesn't the DA get involved and force this piece of jewel to get off his ass, get a job and support his child? Your wife also needs a reality check. Did anyone support her while her son was 3 months old?

The DA will only get involved

The DA will only get involved when she applies for some type of services- WIC / Medicare etc. My wife has been made to feel guilty due to his biological father being absent and she tends to overcompensate. We have talked about life as a male being different from being a women. I've watched her go over board and then he turns on her and then she begins to enable him. Please understand I want him to be successful and I want my marriage however Its getting to the point of making a decision my sanity serenity peace of mind vs him

OMG sounds like my SS minus

OMG sounds like my SS minus the kid

This young man will continue

This young man will continue to be a loser until he takes responsibility for himself. His mom is doing him no favors by allowing his current behavior. He needs a job and responsibilities, including finishing school, and an introduction to the real world of adulthood.

Same here. I have a 19 y/o

Same here. I have a 19 y/o SS that refuses to go to school, hold a regular job, etc. Life is too comfy to be bothered with doing anything other than coast along keeping himself relatively well entertained. For us its escalating to the point that its a threat to the safety of our home, personal safety and finances. It will come to a breaking point.
