And so now that the fog has cleared a bit from the alcohol... what is he doing? -- escaping

It's not so surprising, to me. It's another iteration of the same malady.

The HARD work, the TRUE recovery, is when life is taken on life's terms, not escaped.

I'm sorry for this circumstance you are in and do not deserve. Confusion, rage, sadness... they all make sense to me in the context of being left in the trail of dust... of an escaping addict.

Sending encouragement,
