Thanks Mark
My nephew doesn't have a problem with alcohol - in fact he doesn't drink at all. He was treated for depression but now is refusing anti-ds.
I totally agree with you that she should seek help for herself and have told her so over and over, but I guess she won't till she's ready.
He is the boss, exactly, but she's so scared he'll harm himself that she won't use any 'tough love' on him. That's the threat he holds over her.
This will continue as long as she allows it, and she's stuck in her fear for him. He has everything he wants at home, no need to work. Only has cyber friends and doesn't care about the future.
That's why I wonder, if she could bring herself to do it, whether committing him to a private centre for treatment for depression would be, well, 'being cruel to be kind'?
Would he ever forgive her if he got well?
Thanks so much for your help
Sophia
