My girlfriend had a husband who was a total bum their whole 25 year marriage.
He never worked, spent money like crazy, did not manage his poor health. She finally booted him out and filed for divorce but she still gives him money.
She /they have two kids. One is doing great and is in college and the other is dropping out of high school in his senior year.
He hasn't gone to school in a month.
She tells me she is worn out from dealing with her husband and doesn't have any energy left to deal with the son. She has a new boyfriend now and is into her own needs.
The kid is totally spoiled by my friend and has or gets whatever he wants. Again, he has basically taken over his dad's spot.
Is there ANY advice I can give to her?
I'm not sure what I would do in her shoes. I just think it's worth it to push him through his senior year and then he can be a bum.
I have a feeling he will be living with her forever.
Cellphone, playstation, laptop, Netflix, food, driver. Why would he leave?
17 and no drivers training or license.
I don't bring it up but if she asks me or vents, I give her the tough love speech but she doesn't do it.
