Thanks for posting this. I'm happy to see that it's possible to feel compassion for the diseased. I try to see my AW as two people. The women I love and the Alcoholic, I hate. The lines blur far too often and I struggle with it. So again, you've given me a touch of hope.
I currently walk around with a mean chip on my shoulder and I have my AW to blame for it. I reckon I'm still in an angry phase.
