we all are victims

Friends of ours are going through difficult times right now. The husband has been drinking heavily and the wife is falling to pieces. I saw her today a my sons basketball game and tears were in her eyes, but she did not cry. Her brother died last week in a motorcycle accident and she is trying to maintain herself as well as the household. Her husband is worthless shit right now and avoids me like I have the plague. He knows I am sober, but just does not want it yet. I say yet, with the hope he gets this program one day. It's truly sad to see this disease from the outside, because it's heartbreaking.
