[QUOTE="DDD, post: 393938, member: 35"] Thanks and amen, Nancy. Suz the apartment sharing has turned into a big problem. difficult child has a livein girlfriend who is unmedicated BiPolar (BP) and a bit more than promiscious. She used to cook and clean as her contribution but lately she is now going out to spend the night with "friends" but also bringing two or three "friend" to the shared apartment. Last night she shared the sleeper sofa with a male friend! :crazy2: easy child/difficult child told his brother that he had to choose. girlfriend or Bro?? difficult child isn't able to choose, big surprise. So easy child/difficult child is using our house (his home, of course) as a sanity restorer. He is a easy child when with us. If he "feels the need" then he goes back to the apartment or with friends. I know that ideally he would be capable of living independently and soberly...but husband and I know that he is not strong enough to do that yet. Perhaps he will never be! But after his long probation is over in a few months we are going to more than encourage him to relocate to easy child's and make a stab at living a life free of local influence. easy child's husband had a major alcohol problem for a number of years. They understand addiction [B]and [/B]will have a [B]zero [/B]tolerance. on the other hand they do love him also and will be able to make sure he gets a job and has opportunities to grow and mature. We keep hoping for the best and staying prepared for the worst. It's still possible that any day something disastrous will happen due to his impulsiveness, his poor thinking and his addiction. It's been a loonngg ten years! DDD [/QUOTE]
