Thank you, I believe I understand your perspective now.
The rock stars arrived home and we had quite a conversation. The guy pulled himself up by his own damn bootstraps through miserable experiences, some similar to yours. As he once again fixed the kitchen window blinds the kid carelessly broke, he explained that he has no patience for any further nonsense. For everyone's safety he and the kid should be in different cities. His lady has talked with the kid for hours, and she agrees that any transformation of his life will have to start within the kid's own free will.
My partner and I are entrusting the future of the kid to his own decisions, along with whatever help his family can provide.
Our involvement is limited to providing some suggestions, as friends of the family, for their consideration.
If the kid would like to talk things over with me as a friend now and then, I'm leaving the door open for him to do so. It would have to be on his own initiative, at a convenient time for me. And with the disclaimer that it's his own responsibility to use or to set aside whatever ideas I offer.
