Sometimes, though, the kids don't care if the parents are hurting, as long as they get what they want. It may time for some tough love. If he stops getting what he wants, he may hit rock bottom and get the help he needs.

Maybe it would help you read some books about "enabling" Your son has a cushy comfy set up where he has no responsibilities, all is provided for him. He has no incentive to make any changes.
Tough love is exactly that TOUGH. It's difficult to stand your ground with a child you love. It's difficult to face the fear that he will suffer more from being on his own. But it's time that you and your husband had a life. He's 36 years old. He' not a child anymore.
