We are having issues with a member of our family addicted to prescription drugs. This is very servere and has been gettin gworse for about 6 years. We need to get him help ASAP, but he won’t want to go. Does anyone know if we can take him somewhere that they will make him stay or can they leave whenever they want? I’ve heard that a hopital will make him stay until we sign him out, is this true? Or do we have to involve the law to have that happen? Thanks in advance.

R S asked:


I’ve been married for 10 years. 8 years ago my sister and brother-in-law visited our house and made comments that were obnoxious, such as “Why did you want to move to this town”, “Wow, your lawn is so big you could put a boat back here.” Ever since, my wife has refused to see my sister+ brother-in-law. I told my sister she can be obnoxious at times, and my sister hasn’t made a big effort to repair the damage. And my wife has made zero effort to let it go and move on. She has some avoidant personality traits, and is completely estranged from her sister and parents because she doesn’t like the way they have treated her. My wife completely avoids contact with anyone she does not like. She won’t drive through the town where my sister or her family live, for fear of running into them. Now my parents are having a big 50th wedding anniversary party, and my wife refuses to go since my sister+brother-in-law will be there. How do I encourage my wife to be strong and attend this event?
