I told him late last year that if he came out that he would need to find a place to stay. Well we are a little under a week out and guess what he hasn't found a place to stay and expects to stay at my place which i rent with roommates for a week. Good grief i'm so angry. I know he's an alcoholic so i should the pattern's but it doesn't change the fact that i still expect some responsibility on his part. He's a 12 year old boy in a 69 year old mans body. Lol wow that sounds familiar but oy vei. I'm not looking forward to this visit with him. Oh well just thought i'd get that off my chest. Live and let live and love and tolerance is our code. Would love to hear experiences from other people that share how you dealt with a loved one still active in addiction visiting?
Thanks!
