My mum's partner has just been rushed to hospital.
Back story:
Throughout my childhood he was a violent alcoholic. He hated me and he commanded my mum's attention constantly which led to neglect. I could never do homework as I was either waiting for him to get home from the pub or he was there absolutely bladdered. We got into physical fights often and he would make sure I got no sleep by banging on my bedroom constantly.
On the night of my A level recital he drank a litre bottle of whiskey and we knew it was because mum spent an evening with me.
I could go on...
Last weekend he got taken to hospital twice and, as I'm the only one who can understand foreign accents, I went. This led to me having to leave work on Monday because of a migraine from not eating/drinking/sleeping all weekend.
Today.
He's been rushed in again (after mum phoned me at 8am on my only day off as she "didn't know what to do") because he collapsed twice, the ambulance have said low blood pressure.
This is a man who survives on cigarettes and coffee and will not eat (food is a control thing from when mum would spend time with me).
I'm still stuck in FOG.
AIBU to go get my hair done at 1030 before trekking up the hospital? Should I even go to the hospital?
TIA
