name change for this

I just don’t know what to do anymore, my elderly Mum is drink dependent ( I say this not alcoholic as she can have periods of sober, likely kidding myself)

I have just spoken to her, and she is drunk (of course she is) I am meant to taking her to hospital for an appointment tomorrow. I will ignore the fact I have booked the day off work for this but she clearly gives zero shits about or anyone other than herself. I know this is addiction, it’s just hit me how alone I am and how actually no one gives a crap.

I am so angry with the disease, the situation and everything that comes with it. I get so jealous of those who have fantastic relationships with their Mums i want that just someone to care unconditionally like I do for her.
I actually wish I could just pack a bag a go start again somewhere, but then she would have no one and the guilt would really be too much. Just need a hand hold I guess, usually can rise above this but TOM hormones are doing there thing today🥺

So sorry, it’s very hard. Do you have any support for you?

I’m so sorry @user876554, what an utterly shit situation to be in. How much care are you providing and how much do you want to do?

And do come on over to the Elderly Parents section. It’s a bit busier than in here and you’re likely to get a bit more support and information Flowers
