He has no family support. He was raised by his grandparents who, when he has work, constantly ask him for money to pay their bills because they spent a few thousand on expensive car parts instead of their electricity. He has no father, and his mother prefers to pretend he doesn't exist -- she even recently asked me if, on top of everything else, I could add him to my cell phone plan so she didn't have to bother with it anymore. I'm the only one willing to financially support him.

He's way too proud to go on welfare, even though he's really the most qualified out of any of us to be on it. Recently I brought up applying for food stamps just so we don't have to worry about putting what little income we have towards food, and he begrudgingly accepted the idea, so hopefully that works out.

It would probably kill him inside if he had to move back in with his family, which is why I've been fighting so hard for him not to. But I just can't keep it up if he's not doing anything in return to prevent it from happening. One of our roommates has promised to help him with rent this month one last time, but if he hasn't found work by the end of next month I think neither me nor anyone else here is going to help him out. It's awful, but he's in so much debt to all of us already, and I think he's beginning to become dependent on our money... it makes me sick to think about, but I don't want to be dragged down forever by him. Own life to live and whatever. Even if it hurts me at this very moment, it'll be better in the future...
