I may look into that. that is one thing that I could do, since he did agree to that when he came here; he was a basket case.
Last night, I knew I was feeling that old feeling one gets when their alcoholic 'explodes', and he did keep goading me, into talking, ranting, in his frustration. finally he kicked the cats water bowl, shattering it. After that, remorse , and we talked , argued about alcoholism. I sent him the sticky here, Under The INfluence, excertps. we talked about that.
I dont know if he acknowledges his patterns or not.
I know others have felt the same. my case is not unique, I have learned that here. He does need counsel, aside from not drinking. that has been proven.
I guess playing mommy and taking away internet may be all I can do, as I don't want to send him out to the streets. he has no car, no friends in this town, none that he has not burned bridges with. he would be homeless, and being homeless does not cure mental issues,, to the contrary. We have plenty of people sleeping under the big bridge in town, to prove it.
Thank you for your replies.
hugs,
