ok so my mother in law recently divorced and has no support from her husband they adopted 2 teens and her household is out of whack i feel horrible because she came to our house to drop some of her jewlery off because some has gone missing i think her teen is using drugs and im so afraid my mother in law will get hurt my one of them because the boyfriend they date are loosers and im afraid something bad will happen...What should she do or what can i do to help her..she loves them and i feel like she feel thats all shes got but i hate to see her suffer like that
 
Even though they are now divorced, your Father-in-law is still legally responsible for the teenage children. He may or may not be willing to help out with his parenting duties. If he refuses, then your mother in law should take him to court for child support. This is not something she should attempt to deal with alone and family counseling may help out with some things, but it is not a miracle cure. Two troubled teens may be too much for a single parent to deal with.
I'm afraid there is not much you can do except be there for her and support her if she decides to take your father in law to court. He is the one who should be helping her with the kids. She's lucky to have you in her life though.
