Dear Dr. Phil,
I am a very concerned mother. My son is 27 and he still lives at home. My main issue is that he will never leave. I want to explain to my son that he needs to move out and get a life, but I want to do it in a loving way. He has these problems where he doesn't like to talk to people, except for me. I want to help him expand his social skills in life. I know there is a solution to all of this Dr. Phil, I need an expert's perspective on how to resolve all of this. Thank you for your time Dr. Phil.

Dear Mrs. Jack's Mother,
There is not a solution to this, because what you are calling a situation is not a problem. Your son is at the proper age of his life to move out. It is in the human system to grow up and move out. You can not invade this experience in his life. You need to look at all of this from his perspective. Maybe he has not moved out yet because he does not want to hurt your feelings. Mrs. Jack's mother have you ever considered the fact that it may be you who is the problem? If you are coming to me, it's because you need to take control of the situation as I have told many of my clients. You are the one socially unstable because you can't even have this conversation with your own son that you gave birth to. Ma'am it's time that you grew up.

Dr. Phil,
Sir, I do not understand, nor appreciate being told on public internet that I am the problem. My son has been a free loader all his life. I am afraid that if I take control and kick him out that he will be homeless and stand on the street corner with a card board sign in his hand. This on going situation is always going through my head. What needs to be done to get him out of my house?

Dear Mrs. Jack's Mother
You are in denial, I see it all the time when I tell my patients they are the problem. You came to me for help, and I am trying my best to give the help you need. I think you are unstable and it is unfit for Jack to even be around you. If Jack moves out, and for his sake I hope he does, it will be for his benefit, and not yours. You need help ma'am.
-Dr. Phil
