At 31 years your son can understand basic issues of survival.
Yes it is great he has some motivation to go to the gym.
As parents of vulnerable people we want to extend a care bubble around them.
Sometimes money issues can be used to show what is viable and what is care and what is taking advantage and tipping over into abuse.
Good luck.

Lucky you about getting support. Is it a gift or a skill or good luck, right place at right time?

Hi @sharona, I remember reading your post but was dealing with my own stuff......still am but fortunately, first step is taken. I agree with Ivana. But I'm a little like you, overwhelmed and too much to go to Pilates at the moment but ......I did go to some classes and oh, I felt amazing........well, that was a couple years ago ....... Now I just, do the stretchy thing 3x10 per day. The stretchy thing sits there and working out I'm not in that place to use it at the moment....... what @Louise said is just so right. when I go through nightmares with illness it's so good to have a support person. When I went through getting rid of nightmare ex who just wouldn't go even though called the police.....etc, I decided to take a different tactic and on my own got.....support letters from Doctors and the local community centre which had a homeless section that he was well known at. I did it alone and used Sane forums to get through it. Could you access a support. Person via your 1: GP
2. Salvation Army
3. Local church?
4 community centre ?
