My reaction is that time will tell. Meanwhile, I would stick to the rule that he only visits your house by invitation only, agreed in advance and obviously you will have to get your partner's agreement to this. He is going to have to learn the hard way that trust will now take a long time to be rebuilt and if your partner is serious about his rehabilitation she will hopefully be encouraging him to understand that steps to reintegrate him into the family must be taken slowly, especially as there are another brother's feelings to be taken into account.

Yes this is exactly the approach that both I and my partner's family will be taking, we are hoping that he can hold the job down firstly, something he hasn't been able to manage in the past.
