[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 109290, member: 1550"] If your mother promised to keep him on schedule, then she reneged on her promise. However, things happen and, in the end, I agree that he's eighteen and if he can't take care of himself then it's really not your mom's responsibility. Now if she called and begged him to come out and made all sorts of promises, she is certainly in the wrong, but it's still his and your responsibility in the end as he is your child--but your ADULT child. He's a pot addict? My guess is he is taking more than pot. I thought my daughter was just smoking pot too. That may be partly why his days and nights are messed up. My daughter would sleep all day and be up all night because it was easier to use drugs at night when WE were sleeping. I'm kind of torn on this one. One one hand, if she promised, she should follow through. On the other hand, as one who is now fifty-four, I don't think I'd want a grandchild to visit me if he was any sort of drug addict. I did my time, still have two minor kids, and I wouldn't want to have to deal with that at my stage in my life. It's not as easy to deal with those sorts of problems at fifty-four than when you're thirty-four. Since you are forty, I am assuming she is in her sixties. She may have had great intentions and then, when faced with him, suddenly decided he was too much for her to handle. Would he use drugs while on vacation with her? Just my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
