I too am glad my XH is not home, although he has been saying for a year that he is planning on moving back. I won't let him home if he is going to drink like he has been. I will not expose my son to that.
If he had a couple of beers, I wouldn't have a problem with that. But it's obviously been more than a couple this last weekend.
I've always wondered what boundaries I would have if he did move back--I guess I just realized that would be one of them. Not that I even have to think about that now or ever.
Have you talked to him today? I'll try and get over to your thread later tonight after work and dinner.
Have a good rest of the day.
Don't get me wrong, I do want H home and he misses home. The cycling drives me more crazy than his drinking. He just sits and drinks at night. I grew up with lots of alcohol being Greek, and it never bothered me much and alcohol--I can take it or leave it.
Don't think that your S16 has not been exposed to alcohol because from what I see in our neighborhood, and I know many of the teens here as we have been here since 1996, all of them party and drink.
I kind of take a different approach when it comes to boundaries and what works for one might not work for another.
Jesus accepted everyone, no boundaries. Something to think about!
