Hi Flower, I am so sorry you are going through this. I know that alcohol has longterm effects on the brain. From a spiritual side, maybe she is seeing your late father. I know hearing about this may hurt you but the mind does funny things. Your mom may have been thinking about him and thoughts of her own mortalitiy may be worrying her. I hope you have the support of someone aside from your brother. I took care of an aging realitive till their death and it is very draining. I will keep u in my thoughts and prayers!!!
