So sorry. I can't think of a more devastating life scenario.
Addictions always serve and emotional purpose. Sometimes the circumstances are more obvious than other times.
Addictions are learned behaviors, they never occur randomly. There is always reason and a reward. You can't get addicted to a substance or behavior that you have not
learned does something for you. Escaping how we feel (emotional state) is the most common reason for getting drunk on a compulsive basis.
My prayers are with you and your family.
