The Other Mother

My 25 year old stepson is a meth user now for 7 years (that I know of) doesn't work, lives off people, has been jail at least 13 times. Husband says he's not helping his son anymore but continues to here and there in one form or another.

Its been $150 for the cdl that never surfaced, an air mattress so his son doesn't have to sleep on the floor "at who knows where he is living" place. Just recently $700 for the reason of "to see if he's really going to do it this time. I can't give up on him". Plus many more I probably don't know about.

What's it going to take to convince my husband that the adult kid doesn't want to change because everyone else will worry about him? When will he accept it?
