It is impossible to judge this situation with what little is in this letter. Does this kind mother really understand what she might be getting herself into? This could possible consume her life. Has she considered the idea that once he's in he could try to become king of the castle? Will he respect her property, or will he steal her blind to pay for drugs? This wonderful woman needs to consider all possibilities before taking the big step. Is there a social/legal entity in her location that can help her see what she might be taking on? Who could train her for what she needs to look out for? Who can back her up if the arrangement goes bad? God bless her willingness, and I mean it, but she needs to see both sides and consider all possibilities.

how sad....my heart reaches out to the mother of said son. I do agree though that she shouldn't have her son move in with her. she cannot fully understand his mind set. he needs to be referred to the proper authorities for what ails him. like getting clean if he is involved with drugs or involved with bad groups of people. this is where it can be dangerous is who the son is involved with. I can see the concern of his siblings. call certain agencies that can help with these issues.
