amnesia57,
Well sure he's going to be mad.
Because you're taking away the EASY way for him.
NOW he's going to have to THINK.
Believe it or not he has options.
A sober house,
a halfway house,
Rehab,
His probation officer, the point person, who talks to him regarding his release can give him options.
You are doing him a favor, letting him stand on his own two feet.
Hugs,
