My loved one is 30 days into 45 day alcohol recovery center. Diagnosed as mild/moderate. She is doing well. A very good treatment facility. I have visited onsite once and communicated via phone 4-5 times. I write light-hearted letters almost daily. There is an issue happening with her ex-husband, he is moving into the same community as we, within a month of her scheduled return home. I believe it is something she should know. The impact, dynamics, and stress of dealing with him are concerning to the process of her recovery.There are established ways to communicate with her, and there are established ways to communicate with her therapist. I do not want to interfere with progress, or inject myself into her relationship with her therapist. I want to respect those boundaries. But I am tasked with maintaining life and events back here at home, educating myself and preparing home for her return. I'm struggling with this , do I convey the news directly to her OR go through the therapist? Do I say anything at all?
What is best practice? Your thoughts?
