My ABF is fresh out of rehab and already struggling
My ACOA ABF came home from 30-day treatment and is staying with his mom, upon his her insistence. He doesn't have the $ to be out on his own, currently. He e-mailed me tonight to say he's going crazy, he knows being back home is the worst place to be for recovery, but she won't listen to him. He pleaded for my help and said he's afraid he's going to end up in a bar. He's been to several AA meetings since he got home two days ago. What can I possibly do to help him? All I can think of is to encourage him to do what's right for himself, that he might want to look into a sober house, and pray for his situation. Does this sound like a cry for help? An attempt to manipulate me into picking him up because he either wants to prove that I haven't abandoned him or he wants to see me but can't bring himself to say it? Or does this mean "read between the lines, he's not done with drinking."? I am totally new at this...
