Yeah, my mother in law has spent lots of time in Alanon since we split. I did realise the alcoholism is a disease and I was willing to support him and work the program with him. I quit drinking when he did and I was always an open ear. Is being abusive part of an alcoholics disease then? Will they stop doing it just by working the program? My gut tells me no but I'm still interested to find out what others have to say.
Is it normal to feel sorry for my abuser?
