Colleen,


Nearly the exact thing happened in our home a few weeks ago. He was three sheets to the wind for sure, on benzos and alcohol at least.  (To me, the benzo slurring and weaving seems distinguishable from the just drunk kind -- like they are baby giraffes losing their footing).  And he came during prime time in full view of his younger siblings. 


I am very sorry for you. If it's not a cry for help I cant think of a reason why they would being that crap home.


He has lost the right to be here indefinitely. We don't know the exact terms on which he could return but it would involve drug testing and being productive. 


I did one other thing which I still feel was the right call.  I told him there is nothing so horrible that I couldn't handle knowing or accepting in order to get him the help he needs, including hard drug addiction or any type of mental illness.  I felt that needed to be out there.


Benzo withdrawal is supposed to be very tough.
