I will have to disagree, I have seen some instances of people getting addicted to alcohol and I have seen their family members fight to the best of their ability to keep the family intact, but if one of the family members is so dysfunctional then sometimes there is no other choice, this is not a decision that is taken lightly and it takes years to take form, after all the partner that is not addicted also has to think on the well-being of the rest of the family especially if there are kids involved, also sometimes that is the wake up call those that are addicted need to get out of addiction as they realize they have lost everything because of it.
the point of thinking the family sake first before giving up with someone who are suffering with this addiction,
Natural affections and the willingness to continue understanding and fighting for someone you truly love, there are cases that we seen this kind of family concerns, instead of letting the person down they will try everything to help it.
Showing love and true care for the sake of resolving this issue inside.
Gamblers who are suffering if they see this kind of affections, they will try to fight and win this to resolve the problem, most success cases is by the help of their love ones.
