Wife reflects on long
marriage to alcoholic
DEAR ABBY: I have
been married for 39 years
to a kind, supportive and
loving man. We are both
retired. He stays fit with
daily exercise, reads, keeps
track of our financials and
is fun to be with. However,
he’s a high-functioning
alcoholic. His personality
bends to unsavory during
most of the evening hours.
He will never go to coun
seling, and support groups
for me are not close by.
He was always the bread
winner and provided a
good income for our fami
ly. He was also a good
father to our two sons. (I
suspect that our 34-year-
old son may also be an
alcoholic.) Over the years, I
have gone from compas
sionate to furious about my
husband’s drinking. He
often hides how much he
consumes. I never know if
it’s just the two to three
nightly beers or the hidden
bottle of wine or whiskey
in the trash. I recently dis
covered he also has been
smoking pot.
I used to be a social per
son. We have the opportu
nity to travel, but it was
disastrous in the past. How
should a wife deal with an
alcoholic in the home? —
OVERWHELMED IN
FLORIDA
OVERWHELMED: You
can’t fix your husband.
Only he can do that IF he’s
motivated. A spouse like
you should join a support
group for the families of
alcoholics. If one isn’t geo
graphically convenient,
understand that meetings
are also offered online and
can provide help and sup
port.
Consider asserting some
independence and stop
allowing your husband’s
problem to isolate you.
Pursue some of your own
interests. Because you
would like to travel, join a
group and go without him.
It could provide a much-
needed break from the
stress you are experiencing.
I hope you realize that at
some point you will have to
decide whether you are
willing to spend the rest of
your life hunkered down to
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
avoid the nastiness of a bel
ligerent drunk every eve
ning. If not, you can talk to
a lawyer about a separa
tion. But that may be a dis
cussion for another day.
DEAR ABBY: I had a
very good relationship with
my daughter-in-law. In
fact, I treated her like my
own daughter and show
ered her with gifts. People
told me she’d been gossip
ing about me and saying
how much she dislikes me.
I feel betrayed, so I have
distanced myself from her
and no longer want her
near me.
AM I a vindictive moth-
er-in-law? I love my grand
son, but I need my privacy,
too. What will I do during
holidays when family needs
to get together? I no longer
trust her, and I cannot wear
a fake smile. Am I overre-
acting? —
DISILLUSIONED IN THE
WEST
DISILLUSIONED: If
what you were told about
your daughter-in-law is
true, you are not overreact
ing. However, you won’t
know if the information is
accurate or in what context
something may have been
said until you have been
told by HER. This is why
you need to have a face-to-
face conversation in which
you ask directly if what you
heard was true and if you
have done something that
upset her. Then listen.
