I have a friend who has a 45 year old son. The "kid" spent 20 years in the Air Force right out of high school. When he left the AF he moved right back into his mother's house and he's been there ever since. He has a good job and a Vietnamese fiancee (currently in Viet Nam). Between the girl, junk food, and video games the guy is penniless. For years the fiancee has been juuuust almost able to come to the USA and marry him. Mom worries about him, legitimately fears the "fiancee" has been stringing him along for the money he sends her. (duh) Never the less, Mom is looking for a house big enough for the son and his new wife. Mom worries and worries, but never asks the kid to step up and be an adult.
Some parents are like that.

Wow, that's a bad situation on so many levels that's never going to get better.
