Dear Queenie,
My son is a high school graduate, but he has no plans to go to college and doesn’t even try to get a job, he just stays in his room and plays on his computer. He doesn’t do drugs and like I said, he never goes out at night or any time.
Queenie, we can’t just throw him out to live on the street. What can we do?—Concerned Dad
Dear Dad,
Your son’s behaviour is more than laziness or being spoiled, there is a possibility of mental illness here. However, he may refuse help if you offer it, so consult your family physician who can suggest sources of help for both you and your son.
