Hello Anita,

Thank you for the reply. I was not discussing this with his parents in his presence. I was mainly trying to understand what was happening, and we were mainly discussing how we could make the situation better for him.. However, this was quite difficult for me to manage. Until the last weeks of our relationship, he did not wanted to see a therapist (he said it was stupid and it would not help him at all). I was and still am seeing a therapist, to overcome my own problems, and I tried to explain to him that it is sometimes very helpful, you just need to find someone who suits you. I did not do an “intervention”, but his parents sometimes did something similar when his drinking got very bad. I usually tried to talk to him alone, but as time passed by I was more and more scared about his drinking, and did not react well to it.

Hope I answered the questions, thank you again.
