Hi Velvet,
Thank you so much for your suggestions. I think I will join a F&F group for further support.
Unfortunetely any suggestion of getting help is blatently rejected. We have passed on the information on this website to him so hopefully he might get in contact off his own back. Any direct attempt to open a conversation with him is met with anger and refusal to discuss. He’s admitted his problem to a couple of family members but an open conversation with the whole family or his sports team is not really viable. He may admit it to himself but wont to many others. I think he needs a little space at the moment, too much pressure might set him back. It’s difficult but when he refuses help, I dont feel theres much I and my family can do.
Thanks for the support,
Penny
