I hope the family in question here acheives a peaceful solution.
Like you, I hope for the family and son, a happy ending.

I do wish to make it clear that my original advice was to give him three months to prepare. Reading the OP's post again still leads me to believe the son is a freeloader. And I certainly don't think that everytime a kid acts bad there is a disorder attached to it.

I in no way believe that you nor I are anymore qualified over the other to give advice to this situation. I gave the advice of a 46 year old man with 25 years of fatherhood. I too stand by my oppinion. With that said, I will agree to disagree.

I too agree that the founding fathers put together the best government known to man. But, what it has morphed into is an arguement for another day.
