To any of the people who posted how men who in their 40s who still live at home are pathetic: It shows just how ignorance is bliss.
Have you had your lives threatened, by both your father, and a client he was in an adversial proceding with? Were you afraid to start your car in the morning, because there might be a bomb in it? Was your mother forced to call the FBI, because her life was threatened, interstate, in a blackmail letter, that was sent to the home where you and your mother live, by your father, that if she went to court to defend her rights, she would "suffer the consequences", which could mean anything from financial ruin, to being killed? Were you threatened with jail by a federal judge, because the client your father was having a court proceding with, and the judge, were convinced that your father, (who hates your guts, and threatened to have a hit man kill your mother). fraudulently transferred assets to you? The judge and the client were convinced that assets were fraudulently transferred to you by your father, but the fact is, your father would never do that, because he would rather see you in jail, or dead. Have any of you been set up to go to prison by your father? I guarantee that all you big, bold people who are judging those who still live at home, at an advanced age, would have had a fucking nervous breakdown, and wanted to probably tear up the world, if even half that shit had happened to any of you. Well, all of those things happened to me. Those circumstances, plus one other fact that I cant post about, for legal reasons, are why I still live here at age 40. All those things, and a bunch of bad luck, where I put years of effort into businesses where others made hundreds of thousands, and I didnt, are why I'm still here. The people who matter to me, and who know the facts of my life, are more horrified at what my father and the courts did to me, rather than the fact that I still "live with mom at 40". That is just circumstance, that, one way or the other, will work itself out.
I'd like to see any of you people who blasted someone who lives at home at age 40, to conduct yourselves with the dignity and class that I do, if you had been through what I have. I'm pretty sure you might either A. Have a nervous breakdown from worry of jail, being murdered, or financial ruin, or B, Go off half cocked at the people who threatened you, when they had no reason to threaten you, other than to promote fear. I had no business dealings with my father or the client who threatened all those things, yet, my life was threatened, as well as my mom's. Welcome to the United States of Fucking America.
Once again, know the facts before posting bullshit, because. when you don't, it makes you seem ignorant. The girls I've dated and been interested in, who knew, and currently know, the facts of my life, still dated me, and still loved me, and the fact that I still live here, didnt matter. If I meet someone in the future, who would want to know why, I would hope that she would be intelligent enough to understand why, once she heard the facts, instead of just talking off the top of her head, like everyone in this thread who automatically judged someone who lives at home at an advanced age as "pathetic".
Really, people, get the facts of someone's life, before you judge.

But I could be wrong. I'm sure there are some people on here who think just about everything that doesn't fit their bill of perfect is pathetic, so for those people, yes, it is best to ignore about 90% of what they say...
