Exactly that's where family should try to step in somehow. I'm sure they have already .. she talks about her dad a lot. Maybe they don't know what to do with her. It seems all her friends have a learning disability of some sort too. I guess she just wants to be loved. Maybe if she had a little job it might help keep her busy but I guess she doesn't work. So she doesn't really have any structure in her life and gets bored and lonely and thats where the drink comes into play. Poor woman needs help!
