he gets them for a few hours at a time......no overnights. yes they can go on "trips" - but they can't go too far within the time frame. and really.....you think dude is going to orchestrate a TRIP to a destination and all that is entailed? also he only gets 2 one day trips beyond the zipcode.
you really are most fortunate....there have been horror stories here from members who got none of these restrictions.
Yes you are right. I guess it's the fear of the unknown. As many of you know dealing with an active alcoholic comes with unpredictability. It sucks that I have still monitor his alcohol in-take when he is with my kids. I just know that I have enforce works on our divorce decree. But overall I know I have a good deal. I guess it will take time to adjust.
