Is it possible that she drinks *because* of what happened with her
sons? Maybe, since she has no one left, she's doing it all on purpose.
Suicide? And not caring whether she hurts anyone else or not because
she's hurting so badly? But, now the accident with Sam has opened her
eyes, or has it? I confess that I haven't really paid much attention
to Monica the last few times I've seen her on the screen. I don't know
whether she's trying to stop drinking now or going right on with it.
And, regarding your own recovery, Yvonne, 22 years? Wow! That's really
great!
