I did rethink the whole idea of not letting my daughter contact my son, and I listened to my wife and the last time she saw him (Monday afternoon) he came by to pick up his meds (which I had to pay for since he did not have the cash) spoke to my wife and daughter for a bit and it got late. He asked me for a ride and I reminded him that he had a Metro-Card in his pocket, and since the bus is still running and he doesn't appear intoxicated he could ride the bus with confidence. I hen walked him to the door and escorted him out. My daughter started to cry. I explained to her that he brought this on himself, and she should take this as a lesson on what NOT to do when she gets older. I also explained to her that sometimes parents are disappointed at their children and that when the child becomes an adult they need to live up to their own responsibilities and not live like little kids being taken care of by their parents.
