LW1 Perhaps you should stop trying to get him into a support group and find one of your own. You cannot make, push, pull, or connive someone into doing something they are unwilling to do. If you manage to get one box checked the problem will manifest in another way. You need someone to give you guidance in how _you_ can cope. From where I'm sitting getting out of the house more often and away from perceived responsibility might be a good first step.
