Dear Queenie,
A friend of mine yells at his wife and says nasty things to her in front of other people when he has been drinking. I don’t know whether he has serious problems or if it’s just because he’s been drinking.
Queenie, is there anything I can do to help her?—Concerned friend
Dear Friend,
Apparently this man’s drinking is a serious problem if he cannot control his behaviour when he is “under the influence”. If you can persuade them to seek help, he could find help with Alcoholics Anonymous, she could find help with Al-Anon, and they apparently also could use the help of a professional marriage counsellor.
