To worry about alcoholic mum

One of the school mums has confided in me that she has been attending AA meetings for alcoholism, her husband has been very worried about her drinking and she has been in some bad situations because of her drinking.

The other school mums have noticed her mood is either very up or down but I haven’t commented and wouldn’t break a trust. The problem is that the school mum with a drinking problem has organised a night out for us all, a meal and maybe bars afterwards with a lot of the other mums.

I was stood with everyone and she said she couldn’t wait for the night out because she wanted to get really drunk and let her hair down.Im now worried because I know she’s got a problem with drink,AIBU to say something to her?

She has been really off with me since she told me she was an alcoholic and makes horrible comments about my appearance sometimes.

Thanks I made an excuse not to go on the night out.I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it as I’d be on edge.

I’m not judging her but I can’t help be worried for her and her children.

A very good friend of mine was an alcoholic. It’s the most self destructive thing I’ve ever had to witness. I stood by her for years as she stole money off me. I have recurring nightmares about the horrific stories she told me. I spent hours of my life trying to get her out of pubs when she’d fallen off the wagon. I put myself into incredibly risky situations to try and help her out

If I could redo it all. I wouldn’t of even started. It’s the worst thing ever. Don’t go on that night out.
