Thanks outonalimb and what you said there makes a lot of sense and I needed to hear it. I really have no doubts that I'm making the right decision. I do care for him and I want him to succeed in life ya know? It's just a crying shame! I think that letting him go will be best for him ultimately too. By living with me, it makes being a drunk much easier for him. He'll do best out on his own without my "support."
