I'm miles away with no car today & 3 children in bed.
I've had a call to tell me that my mother has not been seen or spoken to since yesterday.
My mother is an alcholic, she is attending AA meetings & has been clear for 3 months.
When I last spoke to her on monday she was feeling down with everything & said she had had a drink on saturday. I told her to go to extra meetings & do everything she could to get things back on track quickly.
She phoned work & friends yesterday telling them she wasn't going to work that day as she was going to the hospital (priory) for a day visit, now I know that's not true because they know she has had a drink so she isn't allowed onsite for 5 days.
A friend of the family went to my mothers home yesterday evening & heard her talking to herself trough the open bedroom window & cursing the phone that kept ringing (that was me calling her)
I know we can't stop her drinking even though it is heart breaking for us all but I can't get the thought that maybe she has fallen over drunk or done something even more stupid out of my head.
I don't have a key to get into her home even if I could find a way of getting to her.
