This situation is not new, and we are in the midst of putting up with someone that was adopted as a little boy so he could have a better life that where he came from (he is of Indian origin), my daughter decided to bond with him a couple of years ago (she was 30 he is in his mid 40's).
He has tattoos all over, no car, debts, has been on drugs for the last 10 years or so, said he aged his adoptive parents (they adopted 3 kids all up), and I don't for the life of me, understand why these adopted kids with a good chance and education at life, don't wake up to themselves with such a good life they could have had!!
Daughter thinks she can help him, but he has lived with us for the last 2 years, much to my annoyance, does nothing around the house, leaves drity dishes in the sink for me to wash, and daughter is a taxi driver for him everywhere. Smokes and leaves ciggi buts everywhere, leaves lights on, leaves doors unlocked. I have to remind him to turn off lights, lock doors, (really, why should I be telling a 40 something year old this???)
He got caught with ice and a glass pipe on 1st January, the police called me to alert me about it, (as if I know anything about ice or whatever!)...
I think the cop was annoyed with me for having him in our care at our residence, like as if we are being done wrong by.
Did I really need this, trying to just mind my own business, I am not his mother I told the cop, he has his adoptive parents not so far away from where we were having that conversation. I was warned to take care and be aware by that cop, about behavioural changes when someone goes on ice.
To be honest, I am fed up with all these problems and the dramas.
He is manipulative and seems to have sucked in the daughter with great sympathy. She has put him on the straight and narrow path with a job he loves and the people like him. Time to let go.
Waiting for her to wake up and move on.
Sorry, had to have a rant
