Mine has been marginal so far. When AW got drunk and broke her ankle, I had to miss a couple of days to deal with it... running around buying a bedside potty seat, renting a wheelchair... then the day of her surgery.
Luckily, my boss has been supportive. I didn't try to cover it up; I just told him outright that my wife is an alcoholic and that I may have to miss a few days here and there to clean up her mess.
