Yes, she is self-medicating due to stress, anxiety, and depression. That's why I keep on insisting that she get on an antidepressant and seek therapy. I know that alcoholism is a serious disease, and I have been (am) supportive of her. But I won't hang around for her hostility. That's where I draw the line.
