It's amazing how the alcohol robs them of so much. It just eats their personality, their soul. And it is very sad.
I think when it finally comes to this, they often just don't know how to react - they are so ashamed and lost. Not to mention what the addiction has done to their ability to deal with anything. They really don't have any tools to grapple with reality.
I am sorry for your loss...it is painful to go through all of this.
hugs to you,
