Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I paid the latest debt on Monday night before both of yours & Brian’s responses, but having discussed things ourselves we agree that this is not going to help in the long term, and will not pay up again. He is in a bad way at the moment mentally, and showing all the classic signs – lying, falling out with friends, anger, schizophrenia, etc. He knows he needs help but when I booked a Doctor’s appointment yesterday he wouldn’t come. Brian’s advice in his earlier posts are proving useful as this is now coming to a head, and we can offer him all the help, but he’s got to want to take the first step with us. All we cab do, is be supportive if he needs us. As you say, it’s soul destroying watching him do it to himself. Thanks again – I’m finding these conversations useful.
