I want my adult child to move out of my house

I can't cope with having my 35 year old son living in my house anymore. He hasn't got a job, he drinks way too much, I have to fund his car, mobile, drink and cigarettes, he hides up in his room when I'm at home and when I broach the subject of him moving out he explodes at me. I think he may have bipolar disorder and I also think he needs medical help such an anti-depressants but he refuses to go to the doctor's. I understand it is not easy living at home as an adult but I feel so anxious in my own home. Recently I got so upset at how aggressive he was being towards me, I asked my daughter to come over and ask him to please move out for a few days so I can recover my equilibrium. he refused and was very defensive and defiant. However, the shock treatment worked in that he has an interview for a possible job as a hospital porter and addresses me politely. But I still need him to move out. I don't want him to move to a foyer though where he will mix with petty thieves and drug users - at least he is not taking drugs or doing anything illegal. What can I do?

They were advertising a play with a similar theme. I reported it but didn't comment because I didn't want to raise the zombie! Clearly didn't work...

I dont know whats wrong with this world. If someone is taking more than they deserve, then kick them to the kirb. People have to learn to live for themselves in this world. We all have stories but be aware of the manipators who dont do anything for themselves and turn into arseholes
Who manipulate themselves through lofe at the cost of others including their own families. Seek an enforcer and get rid of them

yojylloh, You could have been writing my story, but fortunately I haven't and wouldn't fund his needs. You will not let him go by your own behaviour, he is an adult you have no control over the people he meets, you can only advise. And if he is anything like my son getting a job interview is just to buy some peace time it won't last they manipulate the situation. Cut the apron strings and shut the purse. You've done enough ar-e wiping and spoon feeding. I found your story while googling on ways to evict my son so whatever I say to you I have said to myself. My daughter is 3 years older than my son and she wrote out a prefect eviction notice for me which I gave him. Covid-19 is preventing anyone being evicted for the next 3 months. Do what I do tell him in a calm and un argumentative way that this is your time he is not suppose to still be under your wing. You never had your flying time bringing up kids and you want to spread your wings for a while. (Nothing sexual in that) You don't want someone who thinks you have to answer to them, for anything you do, in or around your house. (same here) I keep giving my son notes 'please leave before I can't stand you anymore.'

I think I could write forever on this subject. So I will sign off here before I get to deep, be strong and positive. I hope I haven't offended you. Good luck

@FJDW

Genius idea.
Sorry I am commenting on the "putting house up for sale" idea and thought it would connect to that post.
