Hi, Lily...
I think the apprehension you're experiencing is normal given the circumstances. The truth is we don't know what's going to happen once your ABF is released. A good rule of thumb is to prepare for the worst but hope for the best. I also encourage you to judge him not by his words but by his deeds. Addicts always say when they get out of the clink that they're going to turn over a new leaf, not use, get a job, etc. Sadly, they don't follow through on those promises very often.
The only thing you can do is look after yourself. Whatever your ABF does or doesn't do isn't in your control.
Keep us posted.
