How can I encourage my 25 year old son to leave home?
My husband (not my son’s father) died almost a year ago. He and my grown up son didn’t get along. When Tom died I moved from the family home into a small apartment in the downtown area for convenience. My son, who was an active cocaine and opiate user at the time moved in with me with my permission. I managed to help him get off the coke and he’s 3 months clean. However, he still uses painkillers on a daily basis. He’s on a methadone program but he supplements with the painkillers. I would like him to move on, stop using the opiates, get a job or go back to school and eventually become independent and willingly move out of my very small apartment into his own place.
