It depends on how far along the alcoholism is...some people do a total Jekyll-and-Hyde thing and become total monsters. I have an Al-Anon tape where the woman describes how her insanely drunk husband shot the family dog in front of the kids.
It being an illness is NO excuse - he is accountable for not getting help which is widely and freely available.
I hope he feels tormented. And hope he truly turns a corner.
RIP poor little kitten.

Hi there. Ey.
In the 1960's in my home town when I was about 15 years old, we had a family who lived about 3 or 4 farms away from us. The husband of that family was a real drunk, and had a real bad temper when he was drinking.
One day he had an argument with his wife, and stormed out. Returned later and killed all of his childrens pets. When he walked back to his house, his wife emerged with a double barrell 12 gauge shotgun, and told him to go and never return. He said to her "You wouldn't be game enough to use that gun on me", and took a few steps toward her before she blew his head off.
Thing is, the whole town knew what he was like, including the police and the judge to....when she went to court she was released. I can't remember now on what grounds she got off ......but I remember that the whole town stuck up for her.

Slightly OT...but reminds me of the guy that killed Jeffrey Dahmer in prison. Seems to me he got hardly a slap on the wrist. YUP!'Thanks for doing us all a favour, bud.'

Yep, I guess it's true justice.
