Visited with SIL who is struggling in her M. Her H is a alcoholic with anxiety issues. He just had a nervous breakdown evidently. SIL has visited with L's to survey her options. She's not sure.
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.
