All I can say is, if she has been drinking the entire relationship, do you know the real her without the alcohol? Sounds like you have insight already into what this is doing to your life. That is always a hopeful sign to me
Or, because we love them, we believe what they say - and ignore that their actions don't match what they said.
We want to believe them, why would a loved one lie to us repeatedly? Deliberately hurt us? Steal from us? Destroy our belongings?
They wouldn't, and any who do aren't really "loved ones".
