Yet another time I've had to cut a conversation with my mother short on the phone because it's evident she's been drinking. Happens all the time now. She's always been a drinker but I feel like it's probably increased. I think she has a problem with drink but because she functions and goes to work she won't believe it. I ring her and she slurs down the phone, can't string a sentence together and when she does she just talks rubbish. Wanted to ask her advice about something I'm planning for my wedding but she is dismissive and rude about things.
Sad thing is we have a great relationship otherwise and when she's sober I can have great chats with her. But she's like a different person after a drink. I've tried to tell her how I feel but it falls on deaf ears. Either denial or a row.
Just feel sad because our relationship is suffering because of her drinking.
