I agree Neeta. I know too. They are the most sensitive people when sober. And the shame they feel, when they beat the booze? WELL, I could never live with it. The silly things I have done in the past that leave me in shreds worrying myself sick. Thats what they are SICK. It must be very hard living with a practising alcaholic, and yes it destroys whole families! Wendy, are you suffering just now? Deanna

My Brother in law, a fairly respectable good natured person when sober, broke into his own mothers' house while she was away for the week-end to find cash to fund one of his benders.......he was caught by a neighbour who phoned the police, of course MIL did not press charges, guess what ,he robbed her 6 months later to the tune of £1000.

Drink themselves into a state 'to numb the pain' and then emotionally blackmail their nearest and dearest. Grrrrrr
