They are angry with themselves and they lash out on the closest person to them (us). As the illness progresses the their thoughts and actions become more and more crazy. We get sucked in because we love them. They give us just enough hope to keep hanging on. Then one day we just can't take it anymore and want to find some peace. That is where alanon comes in.
This above.

And, no offense intended, he is not special or unique. He is an alcoholic. Stick around here long enough and you'll hear your story, your reality, repeated over and over again by complete strangers.

Stay strong~T
