No. Most are, but some just sit there in a stupor or stay out all night at bars. Nonetheless, it is difficult living with an alcoholic. They can be moody, have health problems, be a drain financially and it's definitely not a good atmosphere for children. Besides that, it's a waste of life for the mate of the alcoholic. You can't force an alcoholic to get help. They usually have to hit rock bottom to get the help, and even then, some are addicted to alcohol so badly they will go back to drinking. Marcy

The book Alcoholics Anonymous says that it's not a cure all. Somewhere around chapter 2.
Most women who become involved with abusers were raised in abusive households -- as were practically all abusers -- and thus find the non-abusive aspects of an abuser's personality familiar and attractive. That is often because they unconsciously seek a person similar to one in their past in order to complete a "good" relationship. Then, as the relationship develops, both fall back into their old patterns. That is also why children of alcoholics often marry future alcoholics. Therapists call it "speaking the same language."Answer2: Unfortunately and not surprisingly, some grow up in hostile surroundings where emotional and physical violence were a normal part of everyday life.
Not all locos are alcoholic and not all alcoholics are locos.
All of the kings everywhere were abusive.
Yes, and they are mostly sadistic with themselves, but can pass off actions of sadistic behavior to their victims. They self-loathe themselves, feel righteous about their actions one moment and hating themselves the next. The more they think this way the more they take out their short-comings on their victims be in man, woman or child. Usually abusive people come from the environment they grew up in. The occasional one that came from a good family can just be plain mean to the bone because they're anger at the world in general. If the abuser was verbally/physically abused it's a chain reaction and he/she is very inwardly angry and takes all their frustrations and failures out on the victim. They are sort of like alcoholics ... alcoholics like to drink with other drinkers or alcoholics. The rate of abusive behavior being cured in a person is extremely low because the abuser honestly believes they are the ones that are sane and everyone else is crazy, so they seldom seek professional help.
