My Mom has been an alcoholic for years. But lately it has been getting worse and worse. Now after her cancer diagnosis and subsequent lung operation, she is at an all time worst going through about a bottle a day. She is constantly ill and emotional and is on the verge of losing her job.
She doesn't remember but phoned AA yesterday and said she will go to a meeting tonight. They will fetch her. I have said I will go with her for support.
She might of been saved of cancer but she is slowly dying in front of my eyes. She is haggard and looks far older than she is. She just isn't coping with life anymore. All I want to do is distance myself.
