Easy enough to say his recovery is his business, I suppose, when you have zero control over his decision to put two elementary-aged kids into his car and driving them stone drunk.
You edited...
I understand you are worried about your kids, and rightfully so.
I just think realistically a sponsor has very little power and should not be asked to be in the middle of a contentious custody issue. You asked if you should talk to the sponsor, I'm just telling you what I saw in AA.
