There are things she accepts about Treavor, things she hopes they can work on eventually, things she's trying to help with. The drinking is a long-term goal; get him off it, or down to sober-most-of-the-time. But stopping the recklessness, the ending up in situations that could lead to arrests, injury, or fucking worse: that's the goal right now.
She had thought Sheldon could be trusted. She had thought it would be all right to leave town for a few hours, come back and Treavor would be in good hands. She was wrong, clearly very wrong, and she's going to give Sheldon an earful, because while this is Treavor's fault, it's also (and more) the fault of anyone watching out for him and failing. Sheldon failed; Sheldon nearly let him get in a car with (possibly?) drunk semi-strangers.
And fuck, she bets all Treavor wanted to do was see that parrot. To be around one of the good things in his life.
To feel happy for a little while.
He's nuzzling her, calling her the best wife, and sure, she makes him happy, but she can't be around 24/7 to watch him, or be what he needs. ]

But. She was scared. She is scared. He's right here, nuzzling her and happy, and she's crying against his neck because the panic hasn't eased. ]
You can't do that again, Fish. You promised I'm stuck with you, so you can't do something that could take you away. No driving with strangers from bars. If you want to go see your bird, I'll take you any time you want to go. But you can't do stupid shit like this anymore.
