Blondie, yes he was still living at home. His older brother says that were offered to go and live with one of the brothers or be DF for associating with their parents but my husband doesn't remember that but he says no way would his parents let them live with someone else. I guess because they refused they got DF.
His parents carried on going to the meetings but travelling around to different KHs until they were reinstated. They didn't force the two boys to go with them.
His brother left home when he was 19 my husband left at 25 and moved over 100 miles away to the suburbs of London (still happily DF). However, Mum could not help interfering and asked him to take her to the meeting when she went to stay with him. She then started a campaign to get him reinstated (much against his wishes). He was then reinstated so had to start attending again but only sporadically as he worked shifts, though is mother used to keep checking that his was attending.
In 2003 we met (he was aged 44) and I attended meeting with him, we got married in 2004 and we carried on going together when his shifts permitted but gradually faded and we now haven't attended at all for almost 2 years. We also earlier this year moved 150 miles away from the last KH we attended. We are still over 100 miles from his parents and are just waiting with bated breath to see if Mum interferes again.

PS There is loads more to his story and he says one rainy day he will sit down and write it and post it on this site.
