@denise96, It has to be difficult to watch someone who you love resist treatment in this way. I'm sure there have been times in your relationship where he's disagreed with what you thought was best. He's an adult and has the power to make his own treatment decisions. You've tried to help in so many ways.
Please try to take care of yourself. We're here to listen as your virtual family when you need to vent, to let the weight of the situation out. You can't hold it all inside. Do you have someone that can help support you in person when you need a physical hug?

Yes, I do have people I can talk to. It is usually by phone. My mom lives on my property and she is always there for a hug. But she is 92 and I hate for her to worry. My best friend died in 2013 and I have not had a best friend since. It is so hard to make a new best friend when you have no history between you. At least it is for me. I have many friends but no one who lives close. Sometimes I feel so alone.
