I have a friend in that situation. I had to kick him out of my house because he quit his job, and went from drinking a 1.5l bottle every 2 days to one a day. so he got the boot. then he lived with our other friend for 8 months, just sponging off them. then they kicked him out. now hes at home. his dad is furious but he is an only child so his mom is a little protective. so hes now sponging off them. its really sad because I'm not only his friend but friend with his parents and they are some of the nicest people i know. its sad to see my friend drinking and using them for their roof.

I can totally see where the mom is coming from. but i can understand having to repay the debt. talk to the mom and tell her that you owe him 2 days on the cord. then cut him off.
