Question
If you are in a relationship with someone who is dependant to alcohol are you supposed to ignore them if they are drinking?


Answer
Tara,
   Thank you for your question.  It is difficult to give you a straight and direct answer without some background on the person's drinking habits and behaviors.  I would say for the most part, that having a relationship with someone who does something one must ignore would not be a good relationship in which to remain.  Any activity that requires that on the part of the other would eventually drive a wedge between the two because there is no honesty.

   I know this is vague but I just don't have enough information with which to comment.

   Write again if I may be of any further help.

Grace and Peace,
Clyde
