Honest Question. Didn't you live at home well into adulthood?
Circumstances matter. If you're booting him out so you can have a naked room, you should probably give him a date to be out so he can make arrangements. Help the kid land on his feet. If he's being a scumbag, stuff his crap into a garbage bag. He's being disrespectful to his mother in your home? That should be handled on the spot. |

Did Mecca mention anything about crime or drugs? He did mention the kid is a sociopath. And you’re advocating Mecca play into that as some type of fearful worrywart. Exactly what a manipulator wants. |
Until he's ready to help himself, I don't see that there's a great way to do it. I've heard from so many people who have that kid, that brother/sister, etc, who had to hit rock bottom before they figured it out.... and if the kid feels like he has all the control (free place to stay, can be a complete shithead to everyone around him), there's zero incentive for him to one day come to you and say he's moving out because he has it all figured out and wants to start paying for his own place with a real job, etc, outside of potentially chasing tail.
There's always charging rent and so forth, or saying he can live there as long as he has a full time job and is looking to move out or is full time in school... so, he at least has options. But, I assume you've tried that and other things and you're already at the end of your rope. People have a way of getting their shit together when forced to do so, and that's all you can hope for. |
Is his biological father in the picture at all? If so maybe he can help out.

On it's next to last move travel trailer in the back yard. It will give him a future once the axe finally strikes. Onward young man.

This is only semi-related, but if the kid doesn't have (or can't hold) a job, how does he get money to live? If some of that is coming from the parents, that's a tool for leverage.
Worst case, you pay for the kid's first three months of rent on the condition that he'll never move back in. And then you change the locks. Keeping him out is probably easier than getting him out. |
Is he a St. Louis Blues fan?

Have you considered ****ing his dad? If not, I know a guy...

Sister was incredibly lazy, had a kid, and shaped up/grew up real quick. I obviously don't know this kid at all, but a lot of people are only lazy shitheads because they have the safety net of taking advantage of everyone else. Take away the safety net and they get off their lazy ass and grow up. And if they don't, well... they would be living with you forever. |

It sounds crazy, but there was a 30-something year old who sued his parents for kicking him out. They had to go through the eviction process. Definitely worth a call to someone who might do a free consultation. |
Maybe you should take him to the Marine Recruiter. They're hiring, offering a place to live and food.
