You wrote that reminding your adult son of his penicillin allergy is an example of trying to have an adult conversation. I think it is rather treating him like a child: an adult is supposed to know of his allergies and if he forgets, by now it is his problem and you shouldn't bring it up. You did all you could in the past to raise his awareness of his allergy I am sure; now, let him deal with it. If he gets a bad reaction, he will learn. He may be somebody who only learns this way.

This is true
I am just struggling to get over the fact that when his son was born, he and the mom were alcoholic/addicts (using around a newborn) and eventually my son left then took care of his son full time ( my daughter and I babysat full time)
My son has slowed down but behaves like a 15 year old even around his son. He has used again, let his new gf of 1 week spank my grandson ( they split up), ignores my grandson, plays way too rough and is fooling around with the baby mama again (who had cirrhosis at age 31 and is severely mentally ill, lives near addicts and dealers who hang out with her kids)
How do I sit back and let him be when there is a child involved and my son can't even take care of himself?
