Hi Sianny
You responded to my post.
I didn’t realise you still lived with your mum.
All the crying and not eating and poor sleep pattern sounds like there could be a touch of depression there too. Although alcohol and depression can trigger each other. Perhaps when she’s sober you could mention you were worried she was feeling low and think it could be depression and that maybe she could see her GP to get some tablets…. If your mum knows deep down that she has a problem it might give her the ‘excuse’ to go to the doctor.
we’re all struggling to cope. It’s something that’s not spoken about. I don’t discuss this with anyone I know. It always helps me to write on here when things get really bad. My thoughts are with you and your dad.
Take care
