Boyfriend had an accident and wants to stay at my place to recover?

Anonymous

We've been dating for around 3 months. It has been a rollercoaster, we mostly argue about his drinking and irresponsible behavior. He is a functioning alcoholic. I live by myself in a big flat, and he lives with flatmates. In the beginning he stayed with me for a week because he was in between flats and it was really hard, I realized I still don't want to live together. But things got better once he moved out and we have been planning in the future to live together. But few days ago he got in a traffic accident while driving drunk, broke his leg and had a surgery. He also got charged for DUI. I am still angry at him, I really don't know how I feel. I went to see him yesterday and we were talking about how hard his recovery is going to be, and I offered him to stay at my place because I felt sorry for him. He doesn't have anyone here and I am his girlfriend, so I felt like it's expected of me to help him. I know I sound like a bad person but I just don't want him here, for many reasons. I believe it will destroy our relationship. If he wasn't driving under influence it would be a different story, but I just can't get over this anger, especially since it wasn't the first time shit happens while he's drunk. My moral self tells me he deserved it and should now pay the consequences. Maybe that's the only way for him to learn. I want to be supportive, but at the same time I don't want to be stupid and sacrifice my own peace of mind for his reckless behavior. How should I approach this?
