A lot has happened Alice over the last few years. Her career such as it was has tanked. She has lost her figure. She has lost her looks. Her husband has left her. She has alcohol and substance abuse issues. She has few if any friends.
On the other hand she has two beautiful children, lives in a 2 million dollar home, all bills are paid, a nanny/housekeeper, a car and an allowance.
Alice has a choice, she can seek help, cut a deal with Ioan, he seems like a decent guy, try and re-establish a career as per some of the suggestions on this thread or continue on the path she has chosen and end up living on the streets or worse.
My best friend went into a similar spiral, all his own fault, but he continually blamed his partner. He continued until he hit rock bottom and ended up living on the streets with a string of petty theft convictions. I did my best to help him. Maybe I could have done more or done things differently I don't know.
He felt rejected because when times were good and he was flying high he had loads of friends, when the money went they deserted him.
When he was right he was a good husband, father and provider but his partner and children carry their scars on the inside.
He kept threatening to kill himself, until he eventually did.
