Getting ongoing treatment would have to be a key to his recovery. He's currently in a situation where he's supported, has no access to alcohol, and is undergoing treatment. Once he leaves he'll be faced with many real-life challenges.
From your details, especially the loaded gun incident, I would not under any circumstances, live with him again unless he undergoes long-term, active, recovery. I'm horrified that you've gone through it. Do you now have PTSD?
FeelingGreat, I am almost sad to say that we are so dysfunctional that the gun incident didn'teven scare me. I was just surprised because I didn't know the gun was there. How messed up is my head that I was more worried about him hurting himself than I was about me?
