https://www.thestar.com/life/2016/08/31 ... ellie.htmlMy wife of five years and I are from another country.
We each have adult kids from previous marriages. Currently, only her youngest, a son, 25, lives with us.
My stepson’s cheating the welfare system, is addicted to cannabis and very addicted to online gaming (no large amounts).
He worked some months last year, got rejected by Employment Insurance, then went on welfare and lives in our basement.
He doesn’t pay rent, nor help with food or cooking.
He’s manipulative to my wife, (e.g. his meat has to be cut into very small portions or he gets upset.).
He has peaks of outrage and could hit anyone if he chooses. He said that he’ll be leaving home, but hasn’t. My wife’s always sad and crying.
Should I go to family services to discuss all this?
In Distress
Response
This volatile situation is frightening and unsafe for everyone involved.
A phone call to a legal aid office in your city (which I’ve kept confidential) will get you a free two-hour consultation with a private lawyer to learn what’s legally possible regarding moving him out.
It’ll also get you much-needed referrals to local family services and other agencies.
His bullying and explosive behaviour’s exacerbated by lack of purpose and self-respect, addictions, and likely depression, too.
Even if he refuses to get help, you and your wife need a plan for him to live elsewhere.
Start your information search immediately.
Definitely that dude is somali, reasons:
1. he likes suqaar (small meat pieces).
2. welfare cheating.
3. living at home with him mom.
