Mother is toxic, IMO
The crazy makings of alcoholism and the depth it takes the loved ones to. It sounds like her mother has been dealing with this for so long she has become an expert at things most normal people would not even know or understand like giving alcohol to an alcoholic so they will not seize or go into the DT’s. Much like we can’t make someone stop drinking, we can’t force them to go to a hospital either. And I don’t know of any hospital that would just dispense anti-seizure meds without examining the patient. I think the mother did the best she could under the circumstances.
