When I was driving home I passed him as he was driving to work. I waved at him, but he didn't wave back. Maybe he didn't see me?

I'm so tired of it all. I hope he does move out. It feels like I spend a lot of time taking care of other people, and no one takes care of me.
Ultimately, he is going to do what he wants. I think you are smart by not letting him back you into a corner and make you responsible for his decision. He probably wouldn't like the idea and maybe they aren't available, but a group living situation could give him some independence and support at the same time. In the meantime perhaps you could get a massage, see a favorite friend, advisor, therapist or clergy member or do whatever thing would be special for you and recharge your batteries. Yoga, ice cream, a goodbook, a movie, meditation, bungee jumping?
