I have never been in this situation before and I don't mean to make trouble but is this just him bossing you around? I mean, really, he can't do this? And if you're going to have to do this extra work because it's more convenient for the EX, wouldn't it be easier for the teen to just stay home? Sorry if I sound negative or cynical, I just cannot see how this is helping you to live a more serene life if you are accomodating the alcoholic still. Of course, if it's not that out of the way or inconvenient, then why not?
