Thank you for your reply. You are absolutely right regarding this arrangement. I have asked him and even demanded that he moves out asap. He continues to say that he will as soon as he can afford to do so. He also says that I am throwing him to the curb. No parent wants to hear that remark. My husband died suddenly 8 years ago. That was one year after we moved to AZ. I have maintained the property alone all of those years. I try not to become emotionally dependent on anyone. There are times when staying emotionally strong becomes difficult. I am really trying hard to be a strong woman but added stress is very difficult. Yes, it does affect my health and my happiness.

Hi Marilyn,
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband, that must have been a shock. I've lost a lot of loved ones in my life but I couldn't imagine losing my husband. Do you have any friends or family you can talk with? I know you mentioned that you didn't want to lean on anyone emotionally but you should have at least one close person that you can confide in.
I know you've asked your son to move out and he refuses to. If things get bad tell him you will call the police to have him removed from your home. Also, you could ask him to please change his ways that, way he can stay a little bit longer but give him a move out date. He's most likely spending all his money and not saving for a place to move into. Perhaps you can ask him to give you so much money a week that you will save for him to move out with. I wish you had some support for yourself, that would probably help you with your mental well being. Good luck to you and I hope everything works out for you.
Take care,
Leslie
