rely on and he is finally realizing it. Mom is in and out of the picture. He has straightened out enough so that he has a good job. But what really bothers me is that he is bored without the old friends. That seems to be the lure back in. His mother is helping him a lot with the kids because he is just learning how to live like an adult - taking care of them and the house. I sometimes cook a good meal for them and send it along with her - they eat easy to cook meals for the most part. We forced the parents to put the little boy in pre-school so he at least has someone else in his life. My great granddaughter is learning to be an adult way before she should - takes a lot of responsibility for her brother. Oh, well you can only hope that it will get better. Will add your family to our prayers.
