is becoming more and more dependent on alcohol, and who is basically getting pissed at the weekends and becoming abusive.
(Didn't want to put the alcohol bit on my title)
I don't live near my friend. She has no family nearby. I guess he's an alcoholic, i know nothing about what an alcoholic is really. What is alcohol dependency, is it the same.
It's a lovely relationship hit the fan due to his disgusting verbally abusive behaviour when he is pissed.
He's all apologetic when sober apparently, it's been going on for a year like this now.
How the heck do I talk to her about without upsetting her too much, by showing my disgust/support. I don't know how to help her and she is a longstanding friend and i am so worried that she's given him so many chances.
She gets times where she feels strong, she certainly says it as it is with him, but as far as i can see her threats to leave don't mean anything to him do they.
She knows this, she knows he expects her to stay, and she is angry with herself. At the same time i know it's so upsetting for her to see the person she loves destroy himself.
She has been through so much, and i know she's strong enough to go, but is there any help for him? He doesn't seem to truly acknowledge the severity of any of it.
Just feel bloody angry with him right now. thanks for listening.
