[QUOTE="KFld, post: 34449, member: 2442"] Wow!! Where have I been? I guess I don't check into general very often, but realize now I should. I can't believe you have been dealing with this issue with ant for close to 2 weeks now, or maybe even longer, and this is the first I have seen of it. I am so sorry to hear that ant has relapsed. I can't say I have walked in both of your shoes because D.J. has never been in jail, but I have walked in your shoe that deals with the relapse end of all of this, so my heart goes out to you. You definatley made the right choice in asking him to leave and not allowing him back. I know that is what you told him when he came back to live with you, that he had this one chance and you would not tolerate his drinking in your home ever again. Good for you, you stuck to your word when he didn't keep his. I sometimes wonder when d.J. is doing well if someday he wouldn't be able to come back home, and then I read something like this and it gives me my answer. This truley is a one day at a time disease and for the rest of their lives we will never know what the next day will bring for them. I know the hope you had that ant had learned enough from his experience to continue to move forward with his life and hopefully someday he will be on that path again, but you know as well as the rest of us, there is nothing you can do to make that happen. As for your boyfriend, he doesn't know what he's losing if he lets you walk away. Sounds like you really need some quality time for yourself right now. I hope you can find the strength to stay on your feet and get through both of these life changing events. You have had the strength to get through so much in the past, so I'm sure you can dig down deep and pull it all back out again!! Sorry I responded so late. My heart did a flip flop when I came across this post and I really wished I had seen it sooner as you have been so much support to me in the past. I'll just have to make sure I check into this part of the site much more often. [/QUOTE]
