Hi all, I'm new to PC and think I have found the right forum to post my concern. My girlfriend of years is 30 days into 45 day alcohol treatment center and doing well. Diagnosed as mild/moderate. We speak via phone 1-2 times per week and I have visited onsite once. I will briefly describe the situation and ask you guys/gals the question I'm struggling with. She is doing good, earned the respect and trust of her therapist, and elected small group leader by her peers in the treatment center. Her ex-husband and father to her child has just decided to move into our hometown in four weeks. What was once a respectful and manageable distance 45 minutes away now puts him in our neighborhood. This changes many dynamics. I am struggling with whether/or not to share this "breaking news" with her. I do not want to jeopardize her recovery process or add stress, drama, ill-feelings, etc. Do I consider it "important" in this overall process? Do I share it with her therapist first so that therapist decides the best approach? I do not want to cause mistrust between myself and my girlfriend, which means, alternatively I would address it directly with her. Your thoughts, prior experiences, and perspectives are very much appreciated. -faithfamily
