Thank you for all your words of Wisdom. No, there hasn't been any physical abuse, he was verbally abusive when he was using. He used/relapsed three times and tried to clean up by himself prior to checking himself into rehab. His been involved in two car accidents and was on a steady case of self distruction. My parents never liked him from the outset, so this was a reason to get him out of the family. They are extremly status driven, and since he didn't have even an undergraduate degree always frowned on our relationship.
