    Do nothing. It's his life. Only advise if asked.

    Only HE can straighten his life out when he gets ready to do you.

    YOU - - can never agree with it - never accept it -- and don't enable him in any way by financial support.

    Pray for him and turn it over to God.

    Don't enable him, but supporting all this behavior.

    Nothing. He has to get it together.

    You can let him know you're there if he needs someone to talk with. Otherwise, your hands are tied. We can't fix someone else.

    If his marriage recently broke up, he's likely going through the process of grief and loss.... which can take a while

    Tough love. Do not let him move back home, he needs to get his act together and straighten out.

    He’s a grown *** man. Not your problem, it’s his. Some people never grow up. And don’t baby him because he’ll probably start to live with you again.

    Leave him to live as he like bc he is already grown up and you can not help him.

    Just mind your own business.

    This is not your responsibility. It is your son's alone. Your responsibility to give emotional support only. Everything else has to be initiated by him. You could supply him with a list of names of counsellors, but that's it. He will only become responsible if he initiates change in his own life.
