Pam,
I remember when my daughter was going thru treatment; the doctor running the program at the nearby hospital drew a picture on the blackboard of a tree and branches; then saying the "apple" does not fall far from the tree. It will be a real test for DB. Definitely he will not be in a good environment. Knowing his dad's health issues might help him overlook some of the things he says; especially when bringing up hurtful things from the past. it would be good for him to avoid his siblings as much as possible.

You went thru the long period when DB was in treatment. This might bring up memories of the waiting. Tho there have been difficult times for both of you, knowing you are there and have been there will certainly be very helpful for him.
