This is a diary of disease, I stumbled upon. Not just the alcoholic's disease is shown here in graphic detail, but the disease of the man writing it. It's clear he's settled for a totally dysfunctional life, and to me, that is more disturbing to read about than the actions of the woman he is with.
I'm not really sure how anyone who has the choice to leave or stay w/an alcoholic can consider themselves a "victim" - to me they are a "willing participant." I know I was, off and on for 3 yrs. I would never look at myself as a victim, but he is deep in the throes of his disease.
