FIB,

She does recognize a problem. There is a good deal of denial still but for her to admit to being an alcoholic and addict is pretty huge for her, esp to admit that to me. In my mind the psychological issues come first with her, the addictions are simply a way to medicate her feelings of worthlessness that she has always had, but I am no professional. Im OK, kids have never been better in a couple of months, we are all taking a sigh of relief that shes safe. She gets out in a couple of weeks, we are all hoping that she doesnt relapse.
