...till death do us part - Part 2

I have not heard about her since I visited her place some twenty years ago in her village. My friend knows her son. Then, she seemed a happy woman and her husband at that time was a teacher in the local school.

.

Now, I heard she has remarried six years ago after divorcing her husband who has turned alcoholic. She found her present husband through the Internet and she re-married around the age of 60. What is more surprising is that her present husband used to be married to an alcoholic wife who eventually died of overdose.

.

Just as I was about to think that it is the Law of Attraction at work, she told me that she believes in the law and encouraged me to watch "The Secret" DVD.

.

In a way, I am happy that both of them got out of the rut of their previous marriages which were troubled by alcholic spouses.

.

Incidentally, I have a friend whose wife have left him because he was an alcoholic. He haven't touched a drop of alcohol since the divorce. He said he drank to cover his depression. Alcoholism is a cover for manic depressive people. Such people may not even know they are drinking for that reason. They are trapped in their unhappy state.

.

My friend, who has now recovered, would like to set up such a charitable foundation to help this group of people. According to his doctor, one in four persons are clinically depressed, but few people will ever notice it and many callously regard such depressive people as "bad characters".
