Marriage with a Drinking Man

As the modern psychological research, men in these families, usually plays the role of either the child or dependent, or the victim or anyone else in the same vein. 

Accordingly, a woman in such a family takes the role of a doting mother, guardian, domoupravitelnitsy that chooses itself. 

However, it may resent the fact that it "impose" such a role, but, deep down, she pleased, because it allows her to realize the deep-seated maternal instinct. 

All that makes such a wife, it keeps her husband in the role of a child or a helpless victim, and very indignant when he starts to go out of it. 

For example, ceases to be an alcoholic.  All ways she is trying to return it to its former role (again, to push for booze), but if not, then leaves him for another "child." 

The most interesting thing that she does this, usually unconsciously, but its actions, at first glance, seem to be contributing to the recovery of her husband (scolds him for his drunkenness, carries on doctors, etc.). 

Sometimes the "holding" her husband's alcoholism is engaged in his own mother, as well as many other people (friends, friends, partners), but that is another topic.
