If you allow your adult child to be homeless you're a complete failure as a parent.
I can't say I disagree, but what should they do at this point?
I'm not going to pass too much judgment and I shouldn't have said what I already said without knowing all details. There's probably a lot left out on both sides.
This story sure is presenting him as an adult child who is doing nothing but mooch off his parents with no effort to try to help himself at all. Apparently he lost his job 8 years ago, moved back home and does nothing to help his parents out.
I can't say I'd handle it this way being presented the same circumstances, but everyone has a breaking point.
