You have some good advice here but I’d do one more thing - I’d ‘help’ him by requiring that there are NO video gaming systems in the house. It’s your house and your right to do this. Since it seems that his inability to avoid the distraction of the video gaming (along with his own immaturity) has had such a huge impact on his life and your pocketbook, get rid of that distraction - just as you’d make sure there was no alcohol in the house if he was an alcoholic. You have every right to do this and I’d say even a duty to do this. If he doesn’t like it and doesn’t want to go along with it then he can come up with his own plan and income to move out on his own so he can keep playing games until he grows up and can lead a balanced life.
