Sometimes I imagine what Sonia Kaspbrak would write in estranged parent forums if she had access to the internet and make myself laugh.
'My son (40 male) lives with his childhood friend (41 male). His friend is horrible, rude and bad mannered and he is the reason my son and I hardly talk now'
'I try to tell my son that he has a good enough job that he doesn't need a roommate. His friend works in entertainment and that's not a financially stable career!'
'My son says his friend is famous and actually earns more than him, but I don't believe it. He says the friend bought them their house, but why would he have my son as a roommate if he could afford to buy his own house?'
'I've tried to hint to my son that living with another man and not having his own home might make him unattractive to women and that it would be hard to entertain dates with his friend around. His friend is loud and always demands to be the centre of attention.'
'I know my son is a late bloomer and he's always been shy around women, but his friend monopolizes his attention and I think he would stop my son dating. He has always had undue influence over my son. My son is easily led and his friend has never liked me.'
'My son is not getting any younger. I want him looked after. He says his friend takes care of him and that he always has, but I don't believe that. His friend has manipulated him and made my son forsake his own mother.'
'How do I convince my son to move back in with me rather than wasting his time with his fickle, gadabout friend?'
