well said and thank you (((((((((((((((((((( emily ))))))))))))))))))))))))

that's the major reason that i think it's too soon to have any drastic increase in time with them. the brother was drug free for 5 mos and now he's just gonna smoke some pot from time to time? get real i told him. neither one of them have been stable long enough to take him for more than several hours at a time...ocassionally overnights with me or mom "watching".

the brother has serious illness, t's a trying to figure out exactly what. another thing that bothers me is now he's mixing self medication type drugs with psych drugs. he's on wellbutrin, remeron and risperdal...now mixing pot into the equasion. how long before is an occasional xanie (unprescribed) or 4?

this is my concern. in fact, if they start taking him more than occasionally, i will probably go and request temp. custody and ask from drug tests. i HATE to do that, but bottom line...i'm talking for an innocent who doesn't have a voice to say these things.

thank you again,
