They should seriously go to some kind of therapy or he is going to find out that removing the son from the equation isn't going give their lives the right answer. It will always be off by one.

Part of the problem with the son's mom is that she is basically treating him like she and her brother were treated by thier mom. She laughs about how much trouble she got in when she was in school and how her mom was down there screaming at the teachers and principle for "getting her in trouble." When she was older and moved out on her own she got a job, but would blow her money and mom would pay her bills and bail her out. Her brother was so bad the school finally told them that they could choose to pull him out and send him to another school so it didn't look too bad, or they were going to expel him. So now she shrugs it off and says she turned out fine so her son will to. And her son is following right in her footsteps. He got expelled from high school, has no job, relies on everyone to care for him etc. The only reason the two daughters likely aren't that way is because my brother has been there since day one with them and has had more influence over them.
