I am sorry to hear about your boyfriends health. That must be incredibly stressful for you. I think it is important to get your boyfriends consent before talking to his parents. I think you have every right to want his families support in this. This shouldn't be all on you. Be honest with your boyfriend about why you are telling his parents and all of your concerns. I wouldn't tell the parents behind his back but I would tell his parents. If you are upfront with him about your intentions and motivations then he will hopefully feel less betrayed.
Please update us on how your boyfriend is doing and how you are doing with all this stress.
Hello. I've joined to get some advice on when to involve my boyfriends family with his addiction.
we've been together 5 years and I am fairly close with his parents. they know he has an alcohol problem but believe he has it under control.
yesterday he was hospitalized for withdrawal, had a seizure and has been admitted for a few days as he also has acute pancreatitis.
I am here with him at the hospital but am the only one who knows what is happening.
I live out of town and depending what happens once he gets back home I cannot be around during the week to help him with staying sober or check on him.
he is extremely private and has asked me not to call his parents about being in the hospital, especially while he is in here. I am not able to stay with him the entire time he is in the hospital as I have pets and other things I need to take care of but don't want him to be alone.
I feel I should call them but will be going against his wishes.
