It would be much easier to go to an al-non meeting to talk. Since I can't hear well, it would be a waste of my time participating in a group to get a better understanding of what's functional or dysfunctional.

Why are you even considering going at all, considering this is a friend's life, not yours.
They are acquaintances at the very least. Right now see them roughly twice a month because we are on a league together
"she" is referring to my friend. Alcoholics sometimes lie and hide their true feelings.
You do seem overly concerned with the lives of acquaintances that you see twice a month in a league. It sounds to me like you need to have more interests in your own life.
Right after being out of prison, he starts hanging around her family again, primarily her parents, and her sister's boyfriend. Him and my friend have no kids together so there's really no reason to be hanging around. He had burned bridges with people with his past drug use. When he and my friend were exclusive at one point, that was when his troubles started including screwing my friend over stealing lots of money among other things he had done to her.
Would any functional, normal family be friends with the ex of their Adult child after the ex screwed their Adult child over? My theory is they see him as a "drinking buddy". They are a family of functional alcoholics, including my friend. She told me it doesn't bother her that he's hanging around. She told me they aren't together anymore They all like to drink regularly on the weekends together. My friend isn't always there since she busy with other things in her life.
I think whatever your friend, her family and her ex boyfriend are comfortable with is what they should do no matter what anyone else thinks about it since it really is the business of those involved and no one else.
Bunch of drug buddies hanging around together. Business as usual ....
