Maybe I'm just stupid, but this whole situation is a symptom of his inability or unwillingness to address the things that happened to him as a kid. He stays so busy running from the pain or numbing himself that the addiction(s) become the focus and not the underlying issues that create them.

I just find it hard to detach from him when I know if he could face his past, his present would be so much better.
