My stepson is at our house for his yearly visit and it's killing me?

I have a serious problem every year for 6 weeks. I absolutely dread my stepson's visit. His mother is a selfish, self absorbed, man chasing, scamming, jezebel. She goes after married men, single men, handicapped men. There are no limits to what she exposes her children and herself to for money and scamming. I feel sorry for her children. She has 2 children from a current marriage, in which the man has run off and left her for someone else.

Basically, this is a neverending saga, all year by phone and in the summer I have to contend with the troubled stepson who has ADHD and a variety of other disorders that haven't been diagnosed yet. I also thinks he's mildly retarded. I have been a teacher myself for 10 years and have 3 graduate courses in special education, so I'm pretty sure of other problems he's having. Because I'm home for the summer, I'm stuck babysitting the 13 year old who acts like a 7 year old.

My question is; how do I get my husband to tell the mother to send the child's medicine with him in the summer when he comes to visit us. I keep telling him that he needs it when he visits us too,but he refuses to tell her. He doesn't want to make waves with her.

I'm afraid if he doesn't talk to her about sending it, I'm going to go crazy and need some medicine too. Thanks for reading all of this, I'm desperate for advice.

Other than settling in with a good book, a bottle of tequila, and the econo box of bon bons, have you considered teaching summer school..or telling the hubby if his son doesn't have his meds, it's to the Bahamas you go..for like, SIX weeks! Do you think you could talk to the skank mom and ask her to fill the prescription at your local drug store? Or buy or rent a nintendo and sit his butt in front of it for the duration? Or go to your doc for some sedatives? I do feel for you, I have been there.
