Absolutely. i think That is a very common feeling when someone you love is suffering with an addiction. My brother in law is by far the worse alcoholic I have ever seen and I can't tell you the number of times he has been hospitalized near death. Yet each and every time he makes a "miraculous" recovery. Many times his family and I have wished while he lay in the hospital on a respirator that he would pass to relieve his pain.

Not an alcoholic loved one, but I have a loved one who has been struggling so badly with mental illness that this thought came to me. It affects her functioning so severely that it has become nearly impossible for the entire family to function.
It's normal to have these thoughts when people's lives are that big of a mess. Why do you think people consider suicide and euthanasia? It's a sad thought to have, but you're not a bad person for it.
