My Wife Enables Our Mooching, Violent, Lazy Son Who Lives In Our Backyard
Ойын-сауық
Susan says she is desperate for Dr. Phil to help her 27-year-old son, JJ. Susan claims her son is a lazy, stealing, unemployed, violent moocher who refuses to support himself or his 4-month-old son because he prefers to waste his days lying around drinking while she foots the bill, so she kicked him out. Susan’s husband, Steven, says his wife went out and bought a camper van and relocated JJ from his bedroom to the garden in the backyard where she continues to bring food and even money out to him. JJ claims his mother, Susan, is disrespectful and should do more to motivate him rather than constantly criticize him. Susan and Steven say a mooching son doesn’t come cheap and claim to have spent almost $60,000 keeping up with the lifestyle to which JJ is accustomed. They also claim JJ has stolen upward of $28,000 worth of their most treasured possessions, including a diamond ring and a very rare coin collection to sell for money to buy alcohol and drugs. After witnessing several violent outbursts from JJ, Steven say enough is enough and points the finger directly at his wife, whom he calls the "ultimate enabler." (2216022RR)

That's a lot of enabler moms, and it starts at the earliest ages and gets worse over time. One day it's, "That's not my (fill in the blank for a boy name) he never acts this way at home." Next time its "It's not his fault he robbed a bank. I think he's confused, that's all."
Son has to be kicked off the property. All the locks changed.
He needs to get a life and move out, he is a grown man not a child.

What’s wrong with him working for his money? Mom, let him go!! Give him one week to get a job! He can wash dishes in a restaurant, work construction, dig ditches! No more access to your house! If he breaks in, have him arrested! Give him a beginner cookbook and he has to cook for himself. Go with him to shop for groceries for a week and turn him loose to eat or not! These things he should have learned as a teenager! Put all your valuables under lock and key!

I could not/would not EVER enable a child of mine like this! This is hideous!
I'm sorry you allowed your child to ruin your lives 😢
My friend does this with both her kids (who are both parents). It's sad to see the denial of the facts. She and her husband enable both daughters. Whenever in trouble, they bail them out. There is no appreciation for the sacrifices both parents made. These daughters aren't as messed up as this guy, but it's the craziest thing I've ever seen. They are killing their mother with the stress.

The mother is killing herself with enabling her daughters …. She probably wants/needs the drama as it gives her a position in the daughter’s lives or control in some form. It is time for the mother to take responsibility for her behaviours.
Thanks mom you’ve created a monster
Ha. In AA we say that after too long of time with your addiction, even if you get sober, you can have "mush brain". Now they have an FMRI to tell the same thing. 😂😂
Like this comment for jj to get the boot
Why has he brought a son into this world when he can't provide for him ?? He is still living off handouts of 20 and 50 dollars from his mother which he uses for drugs , doesn't have a job , is living for free in his parents' trailer and he still has gone ahead and brought another human into the world ???!! This is way beyond shameless and irresponsible !!!
You don’t need a brain scan.. her son just needs to stop! Stop blaming your parents for everything! Be responsible!

I would like to see a follow up. I wonder if the news about his brain made him feel worse about himself, more hopeless and even pushed him over the edge and he completely gave up.
The state of his camper! Can't even keep that clean, or outside the camper. No way would any child stay with me and not pay their way! He be out on the streets! User and abuser.
Yep! Once you're a pickle, can't be a cucumber ever again. Dude got his way with the drugs. Mommy can keep him forever now.
Why the heck would you enable that kind of disrespectful son.
The guy needs rehab.... and then move into a sober living facility, where they make you get a job, pay rent and do meetings. In Rehabilitation they teach to be self-sufficient and accountable.
He is stealing and she lets him back in??
I’d love to see a follow up in the future! I hope he gets better and goes through with treatment and the parents stop enabling him!
Well done Dr Phil! You nailed it. Hope that you can keep us updated. Thank you for what you do. X
Sir, you have a baby! You have to support him and get a job! You are a grown man! Your parents need you to go and look for a job, so you can support yourself and your son!
If jail's better, then maybe he should go back and stay there.
I made a Caregiver Contract with out family friend,,, and took care of him In my home for 7 years 3 months. I got to SEE ALL THE BRAINS PICTURES/ MRIs, and it was explained to me. It was horrible what he had done to his brain, since age 15! There was no turning back. Drugs/ alcohol,, alcohol related dementia. ,,, just tragedy. He died at 81, here at home.

I watched an episode of Britians most taboo last night. There was a mother who did the same thing with her son. The enabling of her baby boy ruined her marriage with her husband who still loved his wife very much, and it strained the relationship she had with her daughter. At 27 he throttled his mother and then strangled her to death, took her body to a caravan park and stuffed it under a caravan, and then proceeded to use her debit cards to party and see escorts. She thought she was doing what was best for her son too.
Bad enough the son is a burden, he has the stupidity to bring a baby into his messed up life,
Ill have to tune in later. I could use Dr. Phil's advice myself.
It's sad that this guy mooches off his parents, yet he can get a job and support himself while I have a learning disability, receive Ssi, and I respect my parents.
Mom , pray 🙏 for your son , ask God to give you the strength to do what Dr.Phil says to do so your son can get the help he desperately needs . The devil is a liar and is here to steal , kill and destroy, especially our children. Praying for you and your son and the family.🙏🙏
Happy single child free lady here ☝️😎💪
Thx Mom, u provide everything for me so why should I leave! Your moms your dealer
He should be really worried about his brain scan. Scary.
This son needs Jesus Christ. He will always fail otherwise. 🙏
Best mom of the year award goes to…not you honey.
Yikes this mother. I wish we could get follow ups.
That is what happened to me when I went to rehab last year for alcohol. I didn't get a brain scan but I had by bloodwork done and saw how bad I was functioning. The Doctor told me I have five years if I am unlucky and ten years if I am lucky the way I was going. Either way it was a short life. Seeing it in black and white is really scary because machines don't care and they don't lie. I have been sober for 18 months now.
😂😂😂 at the son snitching on the mom even further 🤦🏾♀️
27? He looks 47!
He don’t care! People who have addiction only care about getting high! How when and where 😢it is so sad to put your family through 😢so much
That's exactly why I refuse to have a free narcan kit.
Stop putting him down and build him up.
Wonder how he learned to be so violent. The fact that he's taking it out on his mother says a lot about whatever abuse he experienced. She expressed some kind of recognition of that when she correctly stated that he's her problem and not society's problem. She's just ignorant about how to actually fix the monster she created. He obviously has behavioral issues.
Parent your children when they are young or you will be raising your grandchildren. Another thing is that parenting is hard if youre doing correctly, taking the easy way results in this.
Literally watching this makes me sick. When I was clean, I had asked my family my parents if I could park my car in front of their house that way I would have a safe place to sleep or somebody knew where I was and if I could use their bathroom because I’m getting older and I go to the bathroom a lot during the night, they told me NO THEY TOLD ME TO FIGURE IT OUT. MY FAMILY DOES NOT HELP ME IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM. EVERYTHING I HAVE IS BECAUSE OF ME THIS GUY JJ MAKES ME SICK.
Mom...YOU allowed your grown son to become this. Grown up and stop breast feeding him.
DON'T CONTINUE TO ENABLE YOUR SON , & this was commented on BEFORE the dialog on the show started.you're helping him head TOWARDS DEATH EARLY or YOUR Son's baby. PLEASE AMEN❤😢😮
Lord have mercy!!! The mom and son think exactly alike!!!!
Is he mentally 4?
The audacity.....
Sadly, it is her fault she is enabling his addiction. He needs major in treatment rehab and then find work and live out of the state where his parents live.
You have to bring something to the table besides an appetite.

One day he may kill them. He is a sociopath. Saying no to him shd have been done years ago. The son is shameless and useless. The mother is too. Be a parent. Wake up! Your job is to prepare him for his future life but also to prepare him to be a member of society. Not to be An unwanted member of society. This isn’t love. She is being selfish.
This Neurologist is from South Africa. So much for implying he is American Dr Phil. I live in S.A.

The father is able to prevail to him. The mother needs to build him up. Stop tearing him down.
He stole your laptop and diamond ring and you didn’t have him locked up for grand larceny?
Somewhere and at sometime in the past a total disconnect happened between them and their son. They are all inherently good people, but he has lost the plot and his mother enables him and breaks him down emotionally by saying awfully hurtful things to him and then try to rationalise it to herself that she is "disciplining" him. She may mean it well, but she is the main reason for him remaining where he is.
Very bad parenting, this is for your own selfish needs, because you certainly not helping your son ..and that is your job
Not a mooch he's a menace
Lady, your are an ENABLER!!!!!!!!!!! You need to kick him out of your home PERMANENTLY. . He HAS to become independent and GROW UP.
He’s only a leech and moocher if you allow him to be.
This is heartbreaking. I hope he takes this opportunity to get better. I hope it goes well.
I have multiple sclerosis and my brain has lesions and the brain tissue atrophy in this kids head is alarming. If you noticed that his brain frontal lobes are virtually non existent it would have significant role in his behavior towards others (from his immaturity to violence). The frontal lobe development in humans begins at puberty to the mid twenties and has has been injuring his brain much of the time that frontal lobe development is supposed to be taken place. I relate to this kid as i was once a 15 drunk. I got sober and stayed committed to my sobriety for 40 years. If he sobers up reinvents his life with a 12 step program, sponsor, anger management and professional help he may walk a free man. His other options are incarceration or death. He has crossed a serious line and wish him the best
Next violent act or theft requires a restraining order or no contact order. Hes gonna have to sink or swim. Mom ma NOT, reach out to help anymore, nor listen to him, waith 5 years, check in to say hi to him, if hes still guilt trippin ya, wait another 5 years. Be strong, to save him. He'll say all kinds of hurtful things, dont belueve him or listen, just pray for him. Let go. Let go, let go.
He needs to divorce his wife
Is the mother blind all she does is enable if you let him fall will be a real life lesson unappreciated his parent when mom bought him a camper homeless people would be grateful for that
