Welcome to recovery.....I also had 2 alcoholic parents. It was my mother's cry for help that got me into Al-Anon. There may be ACA meetings where you live, too.

Anyway, your answer to her was a good one. All we can do is suggest they ask for help. Another suggestion I followed when I was new was that I have choices about answering my telephone. If I don't pick up the phone, I don't have to have a conversation with someone who isn't able to converse, anyway.

Keep coming back.......it works!
