Mike,I,m genuinly sorry to hear about this situation.The sooner you get your Mother in to the detox the better,obviously.When that bridge has been crossed you can try and get down to the root of the problem.If it,s depression,then a viscious circle has been caused because the drink will make it worse.Depression by itself is very treatable,and nothing to be ashamed of,God knows how many of us haven,t felt it at some time,but in some individuals it can be utterly crushing.These are the ones that need to seek professional help.When your mother is away from the drink, the good news is the body soon repairs any internal problems,i.e a damaged Liver,all that will be explained at detox.Ultimately, your Mother must try to find some peace within her mind and emotions, only then will her demons be put to the sword.My prayers and best wishes are with you all.Let your Mother read these posts, it may just let a little light through her window.
