You know all you can do is take care of you. My brother struggled with addiction for years - he used alcohol and drugs because he was in pain. He self medicated like crazy.. there were consequences and he is/did pay the price and continues to do so. He is better... but he now deals with a lot of depression and anxiety. He is humbled now... I am there to listen to him and let him know I love him. He has to do the work. I wish him and his family the love we did not have when we were kids.

“Psychotherapy works by going deep into the brain and its neurons and changing their structure by turning on the right genes. The talking cure works by "talking to neurons," and that an effective psychotherapist or psychoanalyst is a "microsurgeon of the mind" who helps patients make needed alterations in neuronal networks.” Norman Doidge
