Mental Health Support

In times like this, I always remember this song.

You can't make him do anything. But, you can distance yourself somewhat so that you don't suffer all the mental anguish and hurt. As you said, you are not his mother. If this person cannot see that they are causing you pain and/or anguish, then you just have to do what you can and let nature take its course. Some people (my father was one) just will not stop being self destructive.
