Yeah right! He was 25 years old, Sleeping where and with whom he wanted without restraint. Do you REALLY believe he'd have given that up to go live with his parents? Even more so considering he must have been so desperate to move out in the first place that the couple living in his cottage were evicted so he could move in.
Jane it's completely normal for a man of that age want to move out of thier parents house. When my son was 24 off he went and bought his own house, I cannot describe the love I feel for my kids but boy oh boy my son was a selfish lazy so and so when he lived at home and believe me it wasn't for the want of asking, telling him to pick his towels ups from his bathroom floor or to put his clean washing away! We used to have some humdinger of rows, especially with his dad wHo used to get really wound up but it's normal . No amount t of rows or my reluctance to admit that he was many a time on the verge of driving me insane would I feel anything g but love for him when it came down to it and I have absolutely no doubt that June would have felt the same about jeremy and shiela.
Both my kids have told me they hate me and I'm pretty certain that in the heat of the moment they probably meant it but not when things had calmed down and I would get a hug or a kiss and a sorry mum.
Let's face it jeremy had quite a lot to deal with regarding his mum didn't he. She was suffering mental health problems , had taken religion to another level and it did affect his life so who wouldn'twant to leave home. None of that means he didn't love her. Of course he did.
