[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 611017, member: 3305"] Suzir, I think this is VERY strange too and it bit scary! No sponser should alienate the support to the sponsee and have sponsee ALL to themselves. Now I have heard of not engaging in a new (boyfriend/girlfriend) relationship for about a yr into "sobriety" but not this. To be honest I am as concerned as your husband. In the 4th step one does a moral inventory, life story, "house-cleaning" and then in the 5th step reveals/admits this "exact nature of our wrongs" to God, ourselves, and another human being. Yikes if this "Self appointed sponser" is the other human being! Extortion even comes to mind. What if difficult child reveals something that this "Sponser" thinks may be of some monetary value to him? We are talking about gambling and money. Anyway, I don't know what the correct course of action is but I would definitely tell difficult child that it does not sound like a good idea to reveal/trust his "deepest darkest" to this person. This person is trying to control your difficult child in my opinion. Your difficult child should never be walking in fear or told to distance himself but instead learning to cope with what "is". I hope difficult child will keep hushed and if he is working steps to not tell anything to this so-called "sponser". LMS [/QUOTE]
