I am there with you...as I have a couple (M1 and J2) like that.
M1 just doesn't get it. He has an IQ in the 130's and still hasn't got it. He steals, lies, smokes pot, takes advantage of people and doesn't understand why he is struggling. He popped this one on me last night...his wife is PREGNANT for the 3rd baby. WHERE is the "passing out" smiley?!!
J2 is a user as well. He wants others to support him, even when he has a job! He stays with friends (or family), works and never helps pay the bills. He goes from friend to friend, GF to GF, family member to family member. Then, he says they are not "helping" him out, when they make him move.
They are bio brothers and came to me at 15 and 16. It is sad to watch, as I rarely allow them to come to the house. Their lives are not great and they try to get their younger brothers to follow the paths they are on. Neither were diagnosed with RAD, but they got it.
Lucyjoy - Sorry I don't have any real advice, other than what you gave me...
