[quote=Anonymous]There's not actually much you can do to help unless your son really wants help and wants to change. My adult brother is an alcoholic and my parents bent over backwards for years to try to help him: hired someone to do an intervention, have paid tens of thousands of dollars for several in-patient treatment programs from which he always departs before the recommended course of treatment is over, paid for an apartment for him for 1.5 years so he could separate from his wife (toxic marriage that is making his problems worse), etc. Years later he continues to have a serious drinking problem and is still in the marriage that he acknowledges is toxic. At this point we (his sibilings and parents) have accepted that there's basically nothing we can do. He knows we love him and are here to help if he ever is serious about changing. Sorry you're in this position--it really sucks. [/quote]
