    @BillieBoy it all sounds pretty dreadful.... based on what you say about his health (and from experience- I've known a few alcoholics) I don't think he's likely to be around for much longer. It sounds desperately cynical but it might be worth staying put for a few extra weeks/months especially as he's likely to get increasingly less capable of causing any further collateral damage.

    Whatever you decide, I wish you a much happier future...

    My advice would be to agree to nothing and do nothing.

    I agree with the poster above, its very possible you won't have much longer in this situation.  It could happen much quicker than you expect given everything you'd told us.

    I think a lot of what you are stressing about will be resolved naturally and soon.

    I hope life is easier for you going forward.

    I'd definitely go about setting up you own company now. I don't know how Scottish law handles 'companies in probate' but unless you are already a director it's going to be hard to manage. With your own company, appropriate checks in place and hopefully own clients, you can offer a rapid solution to existing clients if things go Pete Tong.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing

    You cannot save him, you can only save yourself.  Break all ties with him.  This sounds harsh , I know,  but the situation will not improve until you take action.   Been there, done that, got the T shirt. Sorry if this offends , but you must put yourself first from now on.

    Totally agree.
