[quote=Anonymous]I guess, since DSS is 20, I need to move this to family relationships. I just feel really stuck right now. DSS has lived 50/50 with us since we got married when he was 8. His last few years of high school, he got deeper and deeper in marijuana use. His parents punished, drug tested, sent him to therapy... basically all the right things. But, his first year of college was over in the second semester after heavily increasing use, failing grades, and, finally, a overdose situation. He left school, moved back to our city, and moved in with his mother.

We have a smaller child, and, he was basically told out the outset that he could only live with us after beginning treatment , proving he didnt use, and making some plans for what he wanted to do next. He has done none of this. Things are steadily declining at his moms. And, now we are getting more and more pressure from both of them to let him move in with us before she just kicks him out. My husband feels like he has no choice. Basically, I know, he will leave me if I absolutely say he cannot move in. He won't consider making alternative living arrangements. I know my husband is trying to do the best he can, but the situation just feels hopeless.
