After Meredith hit breaking point last year, she disengaged from everything as she usually does in such cases. At the end of 2021 winter, she left Utah and did not return back for about 5 or 6 months.
Since Meredith needed time and space to process everything that was going on, she fled to Provence, France, where she found her zen. Meredith told, “It was a very spiritual journey for me. I left. I just needed time to decompress and heal myself,” to Page Six.
According to the RHOSLC star, her nephew Alex’s experience with substance abuse came in tandem with his mental health struggles. Alex was going through a difficult time for a long time, but it culminated in 2021.
Per Meredith, Alex also went to different places to seek help. He even attempted to take his own life however fortunately his family was there to save him.
Reportedly, Alex’s mental health problems started when he was much younger when his parents divorced and chose to cope with maladaptive behaviors like lying and abusing.
Only in 2021, Alex went to rehab six times and was in control of his mind and feelings at the time of this writing. He thinks, ” Anyone willing to put in the work for treatment deserves a chance. Not every day is perfect, but I still wake up looking forward to the next one.”
