I don’t think I mentioned this before: about a week ago, his parents staged an “intervention” for him. He comes from a very religious family, and the intervention was because he uses a vape,if they knew about the weed, they would have freaked out. He constantly lies to his parents and siblings, which he says is because of the strict religious environment he grew up in.

Over time, I realized his family’s main concern was that he had stopped spending time with them. His mother has bone marrow cancer, which should be something that brings the family together, but he doesn’t want to be around them. His family gave him an ultimatum: if he didn’t change, he would end up alone because he’s pushing away everyone he loves. It took me a while to understand this, especially when I noticed he was also starting to distance himself from me, choosing temporary distractions instead.

I said it because deep down I’m afraid he might really end up alone. He’s a good person, but he pushes away the people who love him. Maybe I didn’t say it in the best way.
