It has been said many times that prolonged exposure to alcohol has a damaging effect on the brain tissue. who knows what this damage can lead to?
It is also a Chicken and the egg senario, i.e. what came first, the mental illness or the drink problem?
Either way, the answers will not help you recover, although they may help you come to a reconciliation with what has happened.
Keep working with your counsellor. The bottom line as I see it, is not why the things that happened, happened; but more that they did and now the healing must begin. Always from within and from the self.
Love to you
