Hi bh it's a great story, very heart warming. It was a short time wasn't it? 1.5 years seems quick compared to many stories here. My brother had a mlc and was a clinging boomerang, three kids and my sil carried on just as we say here. I thought she was crazy at the time, letting her h come home every week but after four years he moved back in full time, gave up his flat and they are happy family again. Still ups and down but I think some growing up was done. My brother drank a lot and lived high energy replay antics.
