When your wife is the alcoholic

It is tough if your father is a heavy consumer of alcohol, but much tougher if it is your mother drowning in alcoholism. Take Lucy Katheu Mutiso, 15, from Makindu in Makueni County. Her mother, Mary Mueni, claims she drinks to forget her problems forcing Lucy to play the role of mother. She reports late to school while attending to her three siblings and has also lost friends.
