As a mother of adults myself, and sibling to adults who were problems for my parents until the day Mom died... look up tough love options instead. 30, 40, and 50-year-old babies should get pushed out of the nest to try their own wings. Some will fly when pushed. Most, even. Some won't. It's tough on you and on the adult child, but it's the only true solution. If there are grandkids involved, different story, much more complicated. Much tougher. You have my complete sympathy, and I apologize in advance if this reply only irritates you. I can't help reading my own experiences into your post. I wish you all the peace and happiness you have earned and deserve. Make it happen.
