Not too long ago your wife showed up at your home unannounced and asked to see your daughter. She had a nice car and some guy was with her. She looked real good and caught you off guard. Then she sat with your daughter and told your daughter she wanted to take her out school clothes shopping. She said she had a new job and was cutting back on her drinking and was seeing a therapist. She NEVER even asked you how you were doing. That whole thing was herself and her need to have a sense of power. She was being totally selfish and disrespectful. She inserted herself and that is typical of an alcoholic when they disrespect others and have a sense of entitlement.
Even if your wife cut back, that won’t fix her problem and all it does is make it hard to regulate her emotions. What she did was an act for all involved including the guy sitting in the car. I bet she has him convinced SHE is the victim and he is there for support should you give her a hard time.
And whoever this guy is, he has no clue he is only being used.
It really takes time to understand the dynamics of alcohol abuse disorder. People with this problem do not really love or know how to have a healthy relationship. When a woman has more than 7 drinks per week which is one glass per nite, she is damaging both gray and white matter of her brain. Not to mention the damage that is taking place in the rest of her body.
You are a healthy man that wants a healthy relationship. Well, it ain’t gonna be with her, she is just not capable of it. And that’s with ANY man. Even her friends are not really friends, they probably hit the bottle just like your wife does.
