It may be that his functional state won't last forever and then it will get interesting for you and whether you can "detach with love" or not.

Thank you for a reply from "his" respective. The problem is he owns his own business, yep. I actually smoked a ton of pot while working but got fired for bipolar so go figure. It's actually funny because I went to AA because he told me if it was between me and drugs you would choose drugs. I thought wow he is right and got sober to save my marriage, but I stayed sober for myself. I guess people really do come into our lives for a reason.
