That's terrible for you, Julie -- I loathe a violent drunk, and I'm not all too keen on an alcoholic woman who attaches herself to one either -- even if it's a very beautiful woman -- it reeks of inferiority to me. Which isn't so bad in a sober woman, but is cringeworthy in an alcoholic. Then there's redemption -- everybody deserves a second chance if they are contrite! But that doesn't take away the years of punishment and torment they have dished out!
