Sounds like he is going to rehab, which is fantastic. Tough position for you to be in, for sure. It might be best to wait and see what he does before filing anything.
Good luck!

August 17, 2011 at 11:25 AM #720388briansd1GuestInteresting article on addiction.
Ok so we are all addicted to “feeling good.” but can’t we control ourselves through willpower?
Addiction is a brain disease, experts declare
Addiction is “not simply a behavioral problem involving too much alcohol, drugs, gambling or sex,” the American Society of Addiction Medicine declared this week. Instead, the society notes, “Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry.”
In other words, addiction is not just about the actof raising a bottle to the lips, drawing deeply on a cigarette or bingeing guiltily in chocolate bars in private. There just might be something amiss in your head that compels you to behave that way.
“The disease is about brains, not drugs. It’s about underlying neurology, not outward actions,” said Michael Miller, past president of the ASAM who oversaw the crafting of the society’s new definition, in a statement.

August 17, 2011 at 6:57 PM #720557NotCrankyParticipantIt’s a lot more than just “feeling good”. It’s habitually having to do something bad to feel good, because: “Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry”.
Sounds right… and works perfectly with the theory that serious addictive personality,and other personality disorders(or second languages), are most often best acquired in early childhood, and a little beyond.Give me the boy until he is seven and I will give you the man.
