sounds like she is pretty broken (drinking, feeling low) trying to cure her depression, sounds like a pretty depressed person to me, might be hitting the proverbial "rock bottom" when all heck breaks loose and they see what a mess they've created. Would she go to individual counceling if she isnt ready for MC? she sounds like she needs some therapy big time (same boat here, my H is too confused internally to begin truly working on our M, we live together but sleep appart)
