SECTION D

Evelyn, a 36 years old homeworker and mother of two school age children (previous marriage), began to drink in excess following intense disagreements with her husband, John, a manager of a retail and on two occasions was inebriated when they came home. On one recent occasion, Evelyn failed to pick up her older daughter after a school event. Her daughter called John’s cell phone (he was out of town on a business trip) and he had the assistant pick her up. When they arrived home. Evelyn (apparently unaware of the problem she had caused) created a scene and was verbally abusive towards the assistant. Her out of control drinking increased when her husband of 3 years began staying out all night. These emotionally charged encounters resulted in John’s physically abusing her one morning when he came back home after a night stay. John moved out of the house and filed for divorce.
