giving him the boot

[BIG GUNS]

btw, my alchy brother didn't have anything to drink on Christmas. My oldest brother told me that the alchy brother was agitated all day long.

I wonder what happened when he eventually got home that evening.

LOL about the easier living with parents bit. I did take that into consideration that maybe I was acting like a parent or something. The guy is 34 and his mom actually won't let him live with her any more... possibly because of the alcohol?

At the bare minimum it is a slap in the face. I did expect him to be an adult. It's not like I was sneaking up on the guy or setting a trap for him.

I haven't seen him since the note exchange. He's gotten a majority of his stuff out, which is only about a suit case worth of stuff. I'll give him until friday for the rest before it goes to the garbage.

Thanks for the support. I know it's important to be there for friends, but this came down to looking out for myself and my family and having a home that I feel comfortable living in.

family comes first in ALL situations. Don't feel to bad about it....it's your damn house. If you can't make the rules in your own house (with your wifes approval of course) then where in the hell can you make the rules at? These situations always remind me of a saying my father in law uses a lot " No good deed goes unpunished."

Bottom line is you did what you felt was right. If I were you though, he would have never made it past my front door in the first place. You are a good guy Dr. M/H
