No. She does not agree there is an issue. Hence DH’s last ditch effort for an intervention.

And to be clear, I am not opposed to an intervention. Just not a $10k one that would be funded solely by DH and me. . . Same with rehab.  DH did zero research into alternatives and now [b]I am realizing he would prefer to throw money at the problem and wash his hands clean afterwards[/b]. [/quote]

Some food for thought, if he’s willing to consider:
