Of course I am not an expert, but my first gut reaction to your question is "yes it would enable him" "yes it would slow down his recovery" but sometimes we need to think of what is best for ourselves and our children before worrying about what is best for him. If you need to wait a bit before moving out or having him move out for finacial or practical reasons, those needs come first. If you need to wait because you are avoiding the 'move' focus on strengthening yourself and do it when you are ready...you'll know when the time is right. For me, I try to keep my mind focused on "Why" I'm choosing to do what I'm doing more than the actual choice. Easier said than done....of course. Sometime we need to step back before we can move forward, but if waiting awhile would benefit you and the kids, that need is more important than 'his' need at the moment. I don't even know if that came out clear. Just my first gut reaction to your question, take it for what is worth.
