I'm afraid the only thing you and your husband can do for her is point out to her the resources she can reach out to to deal with her alcoholism, Kbaker17! You can't force her to get help. That is HER responsability. You can both give advice and suggestion but the final choice is up to her. There ARE resources available and she CAN get help but she needs to take the first step! Aside from that you can only try to check out on her through phone or by seeing her regularly, although once a day may definitely prove to be too much for both of you! At the very least she isn't alone at home even though it doesn't seem like she has much of a support system! Check on her and insist towards her husband and your sister-in-law to do the same! I'm so sorry I don't have a lot of advice to give to you! Take care of yourselves as well since you can't fully take care of others if we're not taking care of ourselves as well! I hope your mother will take that first step and that se will be able to get the help she needs and DESERVES! Wish you the best of luck in BOTH your mother's healing and in ALL of your family's lives! Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you and your family, Kbaker17!
