My 22 year old daughter was doing meth and smoking weed until she became pregnant. She quit, but had a miscarriage. I believe she remained clean after that, and became pregnant again. She and her common law husband were blessed with the most precious, sweet, happy baby girl. She is now 8 months old and is always happy, inquisitive, etc. I know they love her with all their hearts. My "son-in-law" comes from a very different background than my daughter, as far as the growing up years. He worked very hard after my granddaughter was born, and my daughter was able to stay home with her. Money was tight, but at least she was taking good care of her, and they were making plans for the future. Things gradually began to change several months ago. He wasn't working as much, my daughter lost a lot of weight, the house has progressively gotten messier,etc. Now he's not working at all, yet they have some money. The house is a disaster area, they sleep a lot, are sometimes hard to rouse, etc. My daughter is collecting unemployment, and I was under the impression that he was too. Now I think he's selling. I attributed my daughter's weight loss to her gall bladder. She had problems with it during her pregnancy, and they said she may need to have it removed. Her stomach was hurting a lot and she was nauseated after the baby was born. Now it hasn't been hurting as much. I have good reason to believe they are doing ice, smoking weed, and possibly using Xanex. I'm not sure if my daughter is doing all 3, but very possibly. They went on a family vacation with us this past week, and we had a wonderful time. But they had a hard time getting their act together and we were always waiting on them, they always had to go to Walmart to get something, etc. I plan to confront her this week. I'm not sure quite how to go about it. I cannot believe they would be so selfish to take any chances with the beautiful baby they have!!! But I know it's hard to understand their minds...this is SOOOO unlike the environment my daughter was raised in! I don't know if she's afraid to be on her own...she has no money, no degree, no job, etc. I'm a little afraid they may take off if I give her an ultimatum. I am so lost as to what to do. My husband (who is her stepfather) said I need to make it clear that we will report them to CPS if they don't get clean. I am sick with worry. Any advice will be appreciated!!!
