Jill writes the family agreed to intervene twice. The first plan never materialized when Hunter didn’t show. The second time he arrived to find relatives and a counselor waiting — and promptly left, turning away from the help offered.
Jill admits the family often avoided talking about Hunter's addiction and that she still grapples with guilt and what more might have been done. She notes Hunter ultimately reached sobriety in 2019, a milestone she credits in part to his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden.
