And you don't know what they have attempted before this.
Sometimes people don't want their circumstances to change.
LockeMonster posted... Again, it creates responsibility because the real world isn't as forgiving. I have seen this get resolved tons of times by having the person be on his own. Being dependant on parents and even friends gives people a "oh they wouldn't mind" attitude. When it's fucking a corporate company asking you for bills, you have no choice but to fuck up your credit or pay.
The guy has been hit with a court order and he doesn't exactly seem to treating it as a wake up call either so I wouldn't be so confident about that.
Your solution was paying for the guys rent anyway. That's not him paying his bills. That's not being independent.
And again this is assuming he's capable of being independent. If he trashes the place what happens? What if he has addictions?
We have a lot of people with similar issues on CE. Do you think you could help them by paying for their rent? Do you think anything could go wrong there?
You're still not getting it. None of that matters. My point is that the parents are dicks because they couldn't even give a month's rent. No matter what they tried, you're a garbage parent if you get the courts involved and send him to the streets. If this didn't become national or Alex Jones got involved, logically, where do you think he'd end up if he can't afford a month's rent? ---
