[quote=Anonymous]You really haven't provided enough information for us to fully answer your question.  From the brief info you provided, it would seem you're over-reacting and I say this as someone whose father and brothers were major substance abuse users and dealers.  From your initial post, I would say you are overreacting.  In some of your follow up posts, you hint at more history.  My response is that, as with any recovering addict, you should have nothing in the house that would tempt an addict.  That doesn't mean you have to through it out.  Take it to a neighbor's, take it to the office, lock it up.  Have your DH set clear boundaries for your SIL/BIL.  No indulging in substances and your BIL doesn't drive (that's usually a restriction anyway for people who have DUIs).  It's three days.  His addiction should be an issue.  However, if you have other issues with him, that's different.  Being in recovery shouldn't prevent a visit to your home.

(And, you need to stop your DD from carrying around your keys.  You can get her some keys to play with from any place they make keys.  You can buy the 'mistakes' for really cheap and get her her own keyring).[/quote]
