I am not sure if it really is pot or not but all I know is that he is not capable of actuallizing goals and just wants to sit around all day and he is a moody mess and I am sick of it. Thank you.
I think you are on the right track, Turtlegirl.
With all the chemicals in pot these days, it may be doing a nasty number on his brain chemistry..
Pot was my doc I think there is a whole lot going on with this individual that you can't affect...he has changed horses but he is still an addict who hasn't hit bottom yet...

I would say, time for tough love, listen to your instincts, remove the kids and let him fall.
