Son has been unemployed for two months - not sure how to get through to him.

My son hasn’t had any work since just before Christmas. He spends most of his days on the couch and just doesn’t seem to have much drive for anything. I’ve tried talking to him but he just stares at me and doesn’t say anything.

I’ve seen him drinking at all hours of the day. He leaves his bottles around for my wife and I to pick up. Any attempt to talk about the issues is met with either silence or screaming.

His older sister is starting to mimic some of his behaviors. I love him and don’t want to put him out. But I’m worried that it will affect her school. They both still live at home and don’t have a reliable way to get into town without my wife or I driving them.

Hoping it will get better after he turns two months old.
