On one news show, they interviewed an MTV reporter who was familiar with Winehouse's history. The host asked him why the parents had not intervened, and the MTV guy said that they had tried. He went on to say that, in the end, the addict can't really be helped unless they want to be helped.
I was watching the show with my AW, and I wondered if any of it was sinking in. I probably should have asked, but I resolved a while back to stop harassing her about it, since it only makes her more determined to show me that she can drink if she wants to.
