We might well not be living the OPs life, but I for one had many a year of torture with a drunkard as a parent--so don't be preaching to me about me not knowing what it's like.
and so did I which is why I say it is NOT for us to judge the OP or her actions - some times things are so bad it easier to comply until you find the strength and support to change things
you really shouldn't assume that EVERYONE who has lived with a violent alcoholic shares the same views as you - clearly they don't.0
