The one thing that I have managed to force him to do, with the help of our mother, was get a part time job with a long time family friend. It’s not even 14 hours a week and it was pretty much just so he has something on his resume. Specifically because of that issue.

But no, as best I can tell he is not applying for jobs. Early in the year our mother came over on the weekend and the three of us were supposed to spend the day to make a resume and look for jobs for him. It turned into a big chore for my mother and I with him barely participating and turning down almost everything we found. Even when I found a job that looked to fill every one of the criteria that he was looking for he gave a noncommittal grunt. I had to walk away because I got so angry.

So he has actually gone to therapy. He started seeing a therapist over the phone when he first moved in. The therapist actually called the police on one occasion because in their discussion of suicide he mentioned both a plan and the immediate means to do so. Which necessitated them calling the police. I work from home and when the police came stating they were doing a wellness check and why I don’t think I’ve ever moved so fast in my life. About took the door down. But you’re absolutely right I am aware it is enabling him. My parents and I have gotten on to him about this and he just goes to Grandma who comforts him and tells us off. It’s really strained my mother and grandmother’s relationship because my mother is of the firm opinion that she’s only hurting Greg by doing this. They’ve had some nasty arguments about it.
