The Situation

"She drinks too much and denies she has a problem"

The Brutal Truth

Her excessive drinking and denial signal deep-seated issues. This behavior affects not only her but also the relationship. Ignoring the problem will lead to more toxicity, not growth. It’s a warning of emotional unavailability and potential manipulation.

❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)

An anxious person might try to 'fix' her or deny their own feelings to avoid conflict. This is wrong because it shifts responsibility onto them, allowing unhealthy patterns to persist instead of setting necessary boundaries.
