Dear Abby: Alcoholic Ex Refuses to Accept It’s Over
Ray, an alcoholic who failed rehab twice, refuses to accept the breakup and continues unwanted contact, with no intervention from his family, the letter writer says.
- Ray, the former boyfriend, is an alcoholic who continues to contact the letter writer, repeatedly saying 'we'll work it out' and telling her what to do.
- Having completed rehab twice without success, Ray still struggles and nobody else, including his family, is willing to help, while the writer cannot understand his refusal to accept the breakup.
- Dear Abby advises immediate safety steps: block Ray's number and do not respond, and change locks if he has a key, to protect against unwanted contact.
- Should harassment persist, the columnist urges reporting to authorities and pursuing a restraining order, and the writer asserts she does not want that relationship in her life.
- Readers are directed to www.DearAbby.com for more advice, and the writer says she hopes God will send the right partner one day.

Dear Abby: My alcoholic ex keeps contacting me. How can I make him stop?
DEAR ABBY: A former boyfriend, “Ray,” is an alcoholic. He has been through rehab twice, but it didn’t do any good. He won’t stop. He keeps saying we’ll work it out. I don’t understand why Ray can’t get it through his head that I no longer want to be with him. I gave him two chances. Nobody else wants to help him either, including his family.
