Hi RachelC

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's predicament, and I'm also sorry that I haven't had any experience of this to pass on to you.

I don't know what kind of medical setup/support there is in Italy, but could your daughter seek some advice from a local clinic and find out how she could support her boyfriend with this particular addiction?

I can imagine how worried you must be about your daughter's safety and hope she can find a way through this both for her own sake and her boyfriend's (and yours of course). Try to keep strong for her.
