This is a difficult time..... but it sounds like you're doing the right thing, especially if she's still drinking. (Has she been tested for liver disease/encepalopathy?) I hope that with people who know how to deal with dementia, she can still have some positive experiences that make her life worthwhile.
On another level, she would be very proud of you for getting sober.
Thank you.She is been in both psychiatric and regular hospitals. I was very surprised they did not find anything wrong with her liver at all in the regular hospitals. I honestly wonder if its something to do with her insurance not paying for it if its substance abuse related. I've had a number of issues with getting her help that seem to be related to her insurance. I do know her face now gets VERY red when she drinks and that is a sign of liver problems.
