I am wondering if anyone can please help my son, my husband and me go forward to improve his current situation. My son is a very intelligent, caring and personable young man. He has a university degree but he appears unable to move on and take up other aspects of life.I think he is suffering from severe low self esteem and depression and don't know how to address this any more. I have tried to encourage him to go to counselling or at least talk to the doctor, neither of which he appears to want to do. He is still living at home, not in employment or claiming any benefits (in fact he has had no employment since leaving university). His social life revolves around his cousin and associated friends but they are now moving on, getting married, children etc.His younger brother is in full time employment and now has his own home. We are fortunately in a position to allow him to continue living at home on this basis and my husband has been reluctant to push him to do otherwise as there was previously a similar situation with my stepson.
Please if anyone can give me some suggestions this would be very welcome.
