He dropped out of school in 11th grade and started trying for his GED.. Now 2 years later, he's on his last 2 months of the program. (He went only when it was convenient). I told him I would keep the apartment as long as he had a job and could stay till he saved up the money to move out. He "says" he's been looking but I haven't seen any action. Since he turned 18 (8 months ago) he's been very angry and yells when I bring this stuff up. He suffers from depression bad but refuses to get help. He's now punching holes in the walls and a door, cutting himself, and has this huge entitlment issue from the whole world. Because of his quick temper I don't know how to talk to him anymore. Im tired. He tries to clean the house but he's lazy and barely surface cleans. I can't Make him do anything. He's mean to my cat and holds grudges against everyone. He is refusing to grow up. I have been too tolerant and don't think Im helping him at all by continuing to let him stay there. I want my life back! But just how and when do I kick him out?

... you know he has depression, and cuts himself, (suicide ever?)
But yet you accuse him of being entitled?
That sounds like a cry for help.
