Hi costello,
I am having troubles today so could not read the whole thing.
But, about moving out, it's not as easy as he may believe. Perhaps you should allow him to apply at places and let life be the experience. Where I live, you need to make 3x the rent monthly to be considered for an apartment. Your credit needs to be in good order (which is my big issue.) You need to put down a $40 deposit per person for them to do a full background check on you (I know your son has suspiciousness problems so he might not like that idea.) And then the apartment deposit which varies, only if you get aproved.
I'm looking for a new place now and my credit history is making it very hard. I've never been late on rent. But, my dad doesn't report that to credit agency, so all the apartment sees are a lot of late credit card payments. >.> It's rather dumb.
I don't know if that's a good idea. I think one big issue with me and my dad is he never believed I could make it on my own, and his disbeliefe made me lack confidence to even try. Now I carry 7 people despite having bipolar.
