Marcel has committed several offences associated with his addiction and has served two custodial sentences. He is currently on a personal bond awaiting trial for a charge of aggravated assault.
Marcel reports that both his parents were alcoholics and that he experienced physical sexual and emotional abuse during his childhood. His father died of liver disease at age 37. His mother is still alive but he has had no contact with her since his father kicked him out of home when he was 14 because he thought he was gay. Marcel has not attended school since then. He has one older sister he sees occasionally and says that their relationship is ‘fair’.
