I think he may have handed in 4 applications in 3 years. All when our mother came to stay.

So he's not even trying...does he do odd jobs or anything?

No. He only leaves the flat when we force him to be social every few weeks.

Sounds like he could use some therapy...maybe a little tough love?

He's 23, so it's really up to him if he has therapy or not. My parents have made various plants of practically kidnapping him though.

They might get away with it, though they could get in trouble if things go wrong.

He has all ready lost his girlfriend of almost 4 years through how he acts. So really i don't think there'a anything we could do to change how he is.

Has he always been like this or is it just the last few years?

well, he had school or a job to stop him getting so bad before. But he quit his job to move here then never bothered again. It was there all the time, he just had certain things preventing it back then.

I have a question I want to ask, but it's personal and I have no business asking it so I'll restrain myself.

Ask away. I don't think I'll care to much.

I'm assuming the three of you share an apt. or house. Does he contribute financially?

We share a flat, and we all pay an equal amount each month. He worked full time for 3 years, and his gaming lifestyle meant he never really had any reason to spend that money. So he is actually more financially well of than us.
I also don't have a job, but I'm actively looking for one at least.

Ah, so it's not really that bad at the moment. It could be that if he starts getting low he'll get out and find another job. *hugs* I hope you can find a job soon. I was down for quite a while because I couldn't find a job, then I got accepted for disability, which has eased things tremendously.

I hate to run but I need to eat and then take a nap. I'll be back later. Thank you again for helping me reach my goal!

He's been lasting for 3 years off this money, and probably has another 2 or 3 years left. I don't know how he will be after 5 years of having no job and doing nothing but gaming..

It was good talking to you. See you later.

If he has a skill of any type he might be able to pick it back up.
