Mom is dying; sister drunk
 
My mom has terminal cancer, and we're in the last weeks. It's a very sad time for our family. ASis has decided to go on a binge and has been drinking heavily for several weeks now; in one incident she showed up at my parents' house drunk, and my dad sent her home so my mom would not see her in that state. Mom thinks ASis is staying sober, and I'm happy to let her think that--what good would it do for my mom to know the truth now? Just feeling so sad and spent. Thanks for your support.

Oh, dear, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom! I have to admit, I think it is kindest for your Mom to not know about your sister....*sigh* Really, really hate this disease.

Your whole family will be in my thoughts and prayers!
