Sad to say somehow I raised a raging liberal. Not that he isn't surrounded by other family members that agree, but still. Anyway, I fear we may be one of those Civil War households. I told him to keep it down (playing a video game God this post just keeps getting more depressing) and he had a meltdown about how Trump is a fascist dictator. Didn't think it was the time to send this Babylon Bee article LOL. https://babylonbee.com/news/dangerous-fascist-dictator-censored-and-voted-out-of-office If there's any good news in this story, I think whatever HE reads to get his information must be chock full of pure PANIC. Otherwise you'd think he'd be glad to be rid of Orange Man Bad in a few days.

Agreed that he needs to move out. I don't think he's been babied altogether though. He's had a job since he was 16 years old, still excelled in school and worked all through college. He's working now. Neither of my kids were ever too proud to take manual labor jobs and they did them well. Now both working pursuant to their majors - Math/statistics (older) Computer science and logistics (younger).
Ma'am, with all due respect, it's time. Make the conversation calm, though he will try to escalate with emotion; and if you feel the need... provide a written financial weaning plan with benchmarks and deadlines he has to hit to even keep that. Ask yourself this: should two (fill in you and your spouse's ages) year olds be subsidizing the living expenses of a 25 year old able bodied male? I'm gonna guess he still benefits from your cooking and cleaning too. Time to cut the cord. It's best for him.
Agree.
Thanks. I think he's probably got to get out into the real world. There is part of me that thinks I can make him change his mind if I have just a little more time with him. Prolly not.
