[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 110068, member: 1550"] You deal with it by letting her work it out. She's an adult and not your responsibility, nor is your son anymore at his age. Their issues are THEIR issues and they need to work them out. She doesn't sound too stable--poor baby. But if she was stable, she wouldn't have put up with your son. At some point, you may have to step in and decide if you want custody of the baby. I sense that, down the road, the baby may be in a bad way. But right now I'd enjoy Christmas. You didn't cause her problems and you can't and in my opinion shouldn't fix them or even try to fix them. As for not sleeping etc. my best guess having had a daughter who I thought was only doing pot is that your son has done A LOT more than pot and is having trouble with withdrawals. Drug addiction is a symptom of mental illness so I'm not convinced he doesn't at least suffer from depression, but, no matter what, I wouldn't help him unless he walks the walk besides talking the talk. My daughter would talk the talk and I'd believe her (how dumb of me). She's the one who tells me, now that she's clean, "Never trust a drug addict. THEY LIE." And she did. ALL THE TIME. [/QUOTE]
