Yes, remind her of the three C's:

She did not Cause it
She could not Control it
She can not Cure it

She didn't stand over him and pour alcohol down his throat, right?
She didn't run to the store and spend his paycheck on booze and drugs, right?

He is doing what most active alcoholics will do: blame-shifting, deny-ing, lying, manipulating. In a nut shell: not accepting responsiblity for his own poor choices.

We refer to that behavior as alcoholic quacking. Just picture a big white duck: quack, quack, quack.

We would also recommend going No Contact. Delete texts and emails-unread. Do not accept calls, and block the number if necessary.
