    I bet your hometown has produced a few alcoholics. My point is that his father can't act shocked at his son's behavior and lament the fact that he won't go to rehab when he had a hand in creating this situation. It would be nice to hear from him that he made a mistake in trying to be his son's wing man instead of his father.

    His Father has tried and can obviously not get through to him, he is pleading for the people he hangs out with for help.

    I can't imagine the guilt that his Father must feel.

    The ex-girlfriend has changed her mind and will press charges.

    See ya in 2017, Johnny Boy.

    I would agree, with something of a disclaimer. There comes a point when you have tried everything you can think of when dealing with an alcoholic or addict and you realize that you are powerless over their disease. You can send, or try to send them to rehab. You can encourage or badger them. You can throw them out of the house and refuse to support or enable them any longer. All the way through it you are hoping that they hit bottom hard enough to face their problem and begin to make the changes in themselves that will lead to their recovery. Sometimes they will listen to a friend or acquaintance better than they will their family.

    It depends on what the history between them is and what the family has done to try to get him straightened out.

    I'd prefer a comparison to Milli Vanilli.

    And has this thread gotten to prison rape jokes yet?

    Von Miller allegedly hit his girlfriend so hard he ruptured her eardrum? That's a hell of a Super Bowl confession!
