You hit the nail there, his death actually triggered another issue that was resolved: her pushing people away because he hurt her by committing suicide. She accepted it, got help for that, and moved on. Her wanting him back was something that lingered but that was natural and something everyone has in regards to lost loved ones. The big issue, her alcoholism, was something else entirely and was addressed several times over the course of the strip but didn't become a huge issue until after her breakup with Angus. It doesn't need a trigger, it can be there without anyone knowing and only come to a head when something else that is completely unrelated triggers it.

For what it's worth, you can be an alcoholic and have no other issues. A large number of alcoholics are simply addicted to the stuff, there doesn't have to be any outside issues to it.

WE ARE WORKING ON THAT TECHNOLOGY

No-one ever seems to address the fact that the 2nd movie wasn't really about "Something’s gotta Be done About your kids!" at all...

--- End quote ---
But it was… they just got distracted in the middle a little… :P

--- End quote ---
No, the future kids trip was just a vehicle to get the future sports almanac into past Biff's hands.

--- End quote ---

If you really think about it, they never got the chance because they had to fix the issue that the almanac caused so the third movie not only didn't resolve it but completely ignored it as well...so we're left to assume that he either rebuilt the time machine or used the time train to fix the issue in the future by preventing it.

cesium133:
They did steal back the almanac and burn it, which reset the timeline, though there may have been other changes that weren't reverted, since Biff temporarily had the almanac. But, since he never got to place any bets, he never became Donald Trump.

Tova:
I mean, thank goodness for that, right? ...

cesium133:
Well, yeah, that version of history sucked. Good thing they changed it.

They did change it, right?
