I agree except that where we live, if you charge rent, the person becomes a tenant and has rights. Those rights include having people over to the house. We didn’t want him to have those rights so our attorney advised us not to charge him rent or have a lease because of that. Subsequently, we...

Ps -he is not paying rent. He pays for his car payment, insurance, car repairs, therapies, gas, hair cuts. We don’t make him buy his own food or anything.

He was working until about a month ago when he lost his job. Even when he was working he found plenty of time for this dating app/site nonsense so working didn’t make a difference. He is currently looking for another position and has submitted some application packages with his resume and...

By the way-I just reread this-You may well be fueling his addiction by giving it so much attention. It’s very interesting that you said that because when he goes ok these dates, his counselor advised us not to ask him many or any specific questions about the person. It’s ok to ask where they...

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. His therapists ( he has two; A cognitive behavioral therapist and trauma therapist who is trained and certified in EMDR and SandTray therapy.) The advice to us has been to take a more active role in his healing and recovery from the trauma (although I know...

We did contact the police immediately upon him disclosing this. We were given an initial, brief telephone interview and they felt that it was appropriate to bring us all (my son, myself and my husband) for an interview I’m person. Then met with us together and separately. At that point they...

He hasn’t had those behaviors in about-3 and a half or 4 years/since everyone was closed off inside from the Covid pandemic. Mostly I’m saying we are concerned about his dating, meeting these people on dating sites, one after the other every week. These people could be anyone.

Thank you for your prompt response! I agree to an extent and even his therapists said that they would be advising differently if circumstances were different. My husband and I are the only family he has and he doesn’t have a network. By that I mean a support system, friends-he has none. Not one...

We have asked him and so has one of his therapists-he doesn’t see anything wrong or risky with what he’s doing. The therapist told us that’s because he’s obsessed/addicted to it. Yes it was the same with me at age 18 but things are much different today. The therapists both said that his...

Thank you for your reply-and thank you to everyone who took the time to read this post and give a thoughtful response. Agree about boundary setting and are trying to figure out how to best do that-but you cannot say anything to him that he doesn’t want to hear and that makes it very difficult...

Hello, I’m looking for information, thoughts and suggestions. I’ve familiarized myself with this topic but always open to learning more. I have a son in his early thirties who resides with my husband (his stepfather) and I. Currently unemployed as of a few weeks ago. About 2 years ago he...

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply! I’ll await the official confirmation from the moderator then! Once I get the “ok” I’ll post the story in this section-thank you again.

Hello, I am new to this online support community. I am the parent to an adult son who has a diagnosis of CPTSD as a result of having been sexually abused by two of his family members. Is this the appropriate place for me to post for purpose of suggestions and thoughts from others who have been...
