Whoa up, friend. You're making an awful lot of assumptions here & treating them as fact. First off - do you sincerely believe that someone who hid his drinking & abuse & is still displaying addictive behaviors has been 100% honest with you about his history? Without confirmation of what you've heard or evidence to support it, what makes you label them Evil & him Victim so easily? You yourself are a victim of his manipulation but you can't imagine that they could be, at least to some extent, as well?
It sounds to me like someone finally got through to his mom saying the same things we've been saying to you - that NO ONE can force him to get sober or want to recover, NO ONE can predict what his rock bottom will be (or IF he'll have one), NO ONE can Control or is responsible for his recovery in any way. Including you. But it's not up to his parents to save you, a grown married woman.
YOU have to be ready to save yourself, and we'll help talk you through it & find resources & educate yourself in any way we can.
