To Be Somebody

Evelyn knows she’s broken, and she continually tries to fix herself and be true to her wedding vows.
She and her Air Force husband live in California, Denver, and Japan. They have 4 children two of whom die a tragic death.
She desperately attempts to protect the other two children, but she is no match for her husband’s superior strength and his drunken rages. Fear, resentment and an ego big enough to think she can change another person keep her going.
How could she know what the real problem is?
Alcohol has always been a part of her life.
Doesn’t everybody drink?
She works at menial jobs to support the family and has one illness after another., hating herself for this weakness.
She can’t resist going home to her mother every chance she gets still begging for her approval.
Her family picks her up, bails her out and scolds he so having learned at an early age that she is responsible for everything that happens to and around her she stubbornly chooses her own destructive path.
Knowing she is crazy but not suspecting she is alcoholic, she bravely reaches out to counsellors.
