Like battered spouses

That's been my example for several weeks. At this point the alcoholic abuser is in the anger stage, standing in the doorway with a fifth of whiskey in hand screaming at the wife to come back "or else" and it isn't inspiring much confidence.

That would be "a 750 ml of whiskey". I haven't seen a fifth in 25 or more years.

I think this is where he's yelling that nobody loves us, we'll never make it, we'll starve out there, it's all our fault.
