This raises my feminist hackles -- sorry. I watched my mother bear the burden of my father's alcoholism. It didn't matter what she did, it was wrong. If she wanted to leave, she was deserting him. If he ruined a family event, she didn't keep him happy.

As a recovering alcoholic married to another recovering alcoholic, he's aware that there are only two things that are sure causes for divorce, and it applies to either of us: sexual misconduct or relapse.

My hat is off to this woman for her attempts to live under these conditions. Too bad she hasn't put her sobriety ahead of her husband's unwillingness to live another way.

Peace & Love,
Sugah
