As someone who has been thro a divorce, I’m so glad forward facing cameras and the likes of Instagram weren’t around at the time. I have no doubt at times I looked and behaved like Kat does. You can be cut out of your old life particularly if your ex is as controlling as mine was. Alcohol became a big feature, it acted as filter and also a reason to socialise.
I don’t drink anymore, I was lucky enough to see the direction my life was heading in and escape the downward spiral, but while you have friends who enable that addiction it’s nigh on impossible, I just hope it’s a stage in her life and she comes out the other side because it’s not enjoyable being in that dark place.
