Hi Mum
I'm so sorry you are going through this with your son. As much as he needs help, he is 29 (an adult) and he needs to take responsibility. I know it's hard when he is depressed. But for your mental wellbeing and safety he needs to move out.
My kids are 21,20 & 17 and if one of them were like that I think I would do exactly the same - tell them to move out.
You have a life too, and you need to look after yourself.
I agree with Stephen, until he goes you won't have peace. I feel for you because it's a tough decision when it's dealing with your own children - but I feel you need to for your sake.
Please take care
Jo xx

dear Mum, he's a hypochondriac and won't accept the fact that at 29 it's time to move along, tell him you want some peace and quite, so no more meals, no washing, ironing, no cleaning, nothing absolutely nothing and go and find somewhere else to live.
Perhaps change the locks, maybe a bit drastic, but it's time for little Johnnie to go. Geoff.

Dear mum, I think you have made the right decision, maybe to make yourself feel better about the situation give him a months notice and do what Geoff said to let your son know that you mean business this time. Believe me he will thank you for it one day as you will not be around one day to look after him and he will have to do it tough anyway. If he tries the I,m unwell routine just remember that mental illness doesn't choose a time to just come on. It hits at random times. Better that you do this while you are still around so that you keep an eye on him while he finds his feet. He will look back on this decision one day and thank you for doing this. Good luck

thank u Stephen for taking the time to support me. My son has told me a few weeks ago a friend has asked him to move in but im hoping he will go there. He has it too good here otherwise he would of moved out when he was asked.
im keeping quiet and havnt seen him only for a few mins as ive been on night shifts over the weekend and my partner has been home, hopefully it will b a better week, fingers crossed.
I think he will hate me for a while but im going to be strong he has to go for sure I don't deserve this treatment.

Hi mum, you are Definately doing the right thing. Tell your son that you think it is a good idea that he move into his friends place. Keep on saying it to make him prepared for the move and then after Christmas demand that he move into his friends place. Things sound like they are falling into place anyway. Good luck mum.
