22 turning 12

Things at the house this past Christmas has only solidified my thoughts toward my wifes adult children. Especially the 22 year old man child still living at home. He gets more child like toys then anything. I'm beside myself because I can start seeing my future without my wife in it more frequently. I feel like the only way to divorce my step children is to ultimately divorce my wife.

Sounds like ultimatum time - he gets his arse into gear and works gainfully full-time and a launch plan is drawn up for the youngest or it's over. Your wife is the root cause of this situation (I read your bio), it's her mess to clean up PRONTO if she wants to stay married.

If she defends her lazy spawn, then you'll have your answer.  In my case YSS, who will be 21 next week, is still living with the BM and StepDaddyBigBucks.  I don't know how SDBB can stand it.  They are all HUGE people living in their downsized 900 square foot house.  YSS appears to be working full-time but who knows.  I do know he is a video game addict and pothead.

Does your wife recognize how unhealthy this is for her manchild, herself, and her marriage? Why is she willing to sacrifice his future? He'll live with her forever but you won't if nothing changes.

I couldn't stand it either. She must teach manchild the skills to live independently, insist he get a job to support himself, and develop a launch plan and timeline. If she won't do that, you have your answer.
