I have an idiot kid who knows everything about anything. He knows more than his dad and I combined. He dropped out of HS, has no car anymore, has a dead end job, has no motivation. I am caught between being afraid he will end up homless again, or dead, and wishing he would just go away. This must be what limbo feels like, and hell was when I did not know where he was on a cold rainy night, only that he was homeless and his "friend" had destroyed all his clothes. And also hearing that someone saw him asleep on the side of the road with a trashbag. He has friends who have also failed to launch. I count about 6 of them, no job to speak of, no doploma, no motivation to go out into the world and do something anything with themselves. They all seem to egg eachother on in this endless circle of party-sleep-do nothing-party-sleep-do nothing. Some of the other young men have cars and allowances, I think my son thinks he may get that from us, but we refuse to give him nothing but a warm place to sleep and food. He seems to be content with this. All his friends are doing it, so it's ok. these friends are the reason I go nowhere, they would come in here and steal what little I have. I wish I could tell him to go, but then I won't know what will happen to him.
