I've just got back from my mums house after being called there by my sister and brother. My dad has run off with another woman and they are in the middle of what is becoming a messy divorce. I've noticed that her drinking out has increased but tonight I found her passed out on the floor with a bottle of vodka. My sister had rung me telling me that something was wrong with mum so I rushed over. Both her and my brother were very distressed when I got there as they couldn't rouse her and thought there was something seriously wrong. Eventually I managed to wake her but you couldn't get a straight sentence out of her. I got her to go to bed and brought db and dsis back with me until she sobers up.
My sister is only 10 and my brother 8 and apparantly she calls it her special water which they aren't allowed to drink and apparently she drinks it everynight. I'm extremely concerned for her,dsis and db as they were both understandibly very upset when I got there. She was very hurt my my dad actions and the divorce is turning nasty and will end up in court but I'm worried she has turned to drink. I going to see her tomorrow to return db and dsis home and I'm going to have to talk to her about it.
Any advice on what to say would be greatly appreciated
