I gave my collection to my psuedo son in law but he is still a junkie/alcoholic

Not to be mean or insensitive, but this sounds like a troll. If not its got to be one of the dumbest moves by a pipe smoker ever. I agree with the others that mention the fact that one does not relate to the other. Plus why would you give away most of your collection to a junkie/alcoholic. Try 1 to start if anything or better yet go buy him a corn cob.
I can believe the OP is genuine.
I've tried sharing my hobbies with people before, and the result is usually somewhere along the lines of the description given. If you've spent any significant amount of time or money in any given thing, you're probably the only person in the area who cares enough to treat those specific items with due respect.
Depending on how far down the rabbit hole you go, the number of people who can grasp what you're dealing with might be very, very few.

Otto:
I've got this friend in Louisiana who'd read your post and maybe write:
"For someone's first Post that is so personal, you're either a Fraud or very Stupid, maybe both."
Oh, wait a minute.
I'll be go to hell.
Bradley already wrote that. Never mind.
Still, I'd like to know something. What's a pseudo son in law? They're either married or they aren't. (Has he fathered your grandchildren - in wedlock or out?) And if you came here sincerely because of this forum's reputation of kindness, generosity and willingness to share then that was just flat out foolish. You really should have been contacting your state's Division of Family Services to draw a line in the sand and reclaim your family.
Otto, sack up.

Few parents can give- or withhold- their daughters or sons to anyone. Besides, "pseudo son-in-law" implies common law marriage or simply living together.
Well thanks for all the comments. To clarify, my "daughter" is of no official blood relation to me. Therefore pseudo is the most appropriate term. Thank you for all the comments. I appreciate every one. Also, there are highly functioning junkies/alcoholics. Take the late Senator Kennedy for instance.
Well I sure as hell wouldn't have given Teddy Kennedy my pipes, either. He'd be likely to get them all wet, driving off a bridge.
Seriously, ottorank, that is an awfully odd way to introduce yourself to the group.
Finally, if this young woman is someone for whom you have responsibility -- blood relation or not -- it is HER wellbeing you need to address, no?

Oh yes Ted Kennedy was highly functional. Look at how he "convinced" Aristotle Onassis to fork over 20 million to Jackie when they divorced. Is it a coincidence that Ari's son died in a jet accident or just another example of good old American exceptionalism?
Hm.... My parents were both terrible alcoholics for most of my life. They are the reason that I don't drink. Never have, never will. So I understand where you are coming from. But knowing the current situation, I would not have given either of them anything of mine that I cared about.
Good luck to you!
Good luck to you!
