My son is 29 but honestly acts like a teenager still. He doesn’t seem to grow up, smokes a lot of weed and is skint a week after being paid then borrows money off his dad to survive until the next payday but then will go out & book a holiday or something ridiculous!
Ive known for long time that he has mental health issues, anxiety, confidence, low mood and possibly ADHD. He’s recently started sertraline which I was happy about because it’s the start of him acknowledging things aren’t right but for last week he hasn’t gone to work because he says he’s feels too unwell but this weekend he went on a pre planned weekend away and then went to work for 2 days but is now saying he’s going to ask for unpaid leave. He has so much time off sick I think they will get rid of him tbh. I think being out of work will be terrible for him. In past he’s been very very lazy & this is the first job he’s lasted at.
mom trying to be supportive & to understand but there is part of me that just thinks he’s being bone idle. I don’t know what to say.
at the end of the day it’s up to him but I’m scared that if he loses this job it will be worse as he won’t get another like it- he has a criminal record.
How would you play this?
