Hockerick....basically, I was referring to the unrealistic expectations of your in-laws. It seems like they expected that a brief time of her not drinking is a predictor of what recovery looks like.
I was just trying to say that this early into the process.....there is just no predicting, with much certainty what the future will hold for her. Healing of the brain and the psyche is a long, slow process after the person has ceased consuming alcohol---and, the ball is wholy in her court on that.
