Mums an alcoholic, we are low contact with a phonecall each week, except i stopped calling and started counselling (stopped after 5 sessions).
She has some health problems which she wont disclose fully, past needing a blood test but refusing to do it.
She is no longer under a gp as the practice closed, i checked if she wanted help registering with a new one - but she said she just couldnt be bothered.
I am on the phone for an hour, usually talking about banal stuff, my brother calls in occassionally, but otherwise she sees no one bar tesco delivery.
I fear shes finally managed to drink her liver to the point of permanent damage, but ive got no clue what to do next. It feels pointless to call her, for what? If shes drunk shes obnoxious and i have to talk her down from the latest non crisis, if sober, its a conversation of no consequence.
