This struck me because it kind of describes where I was at during my depression. alcohol is the medicine men often use to get away from their hurt and depression.

She's going to see a lawyer instead of reaching out to friends and family to HELP her husband get treatment? Ready to abandon him after he has a 'breakdown'?

Yeah, it's easy to say "Oh, but he's an alcoholic" like that somehow absolves his family from helping him.

It's sad that our society has made that acceptable.
