Re: Hello again!

[(Anonymous)]

My week started off abysmally and it wasn't even for something I did. My mother's been a functioning alcoholic most of her life, but in the last couple of years, since my dad died, she's become... less functional. And yesterday she came home from work having been given notice of a disciplinary hearing, which is basically polite notice that she's going to be fired, short of a miracle. I'm not allowed to speak for her at the hearing. To top it all off, she thinks she's being unfairly persecuted, but she isn't--she doesn't go to work drunk, or drink there, but her short term memory is shot and sometimes she comes home for lunch, passes out (not from drinking, but she's so depressed and malnourished she'd sleep all day if she could) and doesn't go back to finish her day. I try to make sure she's fed and the bills get paid, but she's not so mentally incompetent that I could get power of attorney, even if I was functional enough to handle it, which I'm not. She's too young to qualify for Medicaid and her job doesn't pay into Social Security, but into a fund which she wouldn't actually get if she got fired, only if she quit, and before he died my dad blew through their savings. Basically, if and when she gets fired I expect she'll drink herself to death in short order, because she has few friends, no family to speak of but me, and no interests or hobbies to distract her. Short of drugging her nightly vodka and dropping her off at an in-patient rehab clinic, I don't know how to help her. The last time she went to the doctor to discuss going to rehab, I made the appointment for her and took her there, but she refused to go to any followups.
