Question by debbie p: How can I get my niece to undergo alcohol rehab?
My teenage niece lives with me, since my sister (her mom) travels abroad. My sister doesn’t know about her daughter’s alcohol addiction, and I don’t know how I’m going to tell her. I want my niece to undergo alcohol rehab, but I haven’t tried talking to her yet. What am I to do?

Well, you should start by talking to her and her mom. Get in touch with her mom and tell her about the problem you’re experiencing with your niece. Have your sister talk to her daughter. Maybe then you would be able to get your niece to agree to undergoing treatment. Staging an intervention with her mother would probably prove to be more effective. If you know other sober people, such as your niece’s close friends, it would be great if you can get them to participate in the intervention as well. We all know that teenagers are more likely to listen to their friends rather than relatives, so getting her friends to persuade her would be a big help.

Good luck and I hope everything goes well!
