I’m worried sick about the impact my mother’s drinking is having on my dad

DEAR DEIDRE: MY mother’s drinking is out of control, and I’m worried sick about the impact it’s having on my dad.

There isn’t a day that passes where she hasn’t drunk herself into a state, and I’m at a complete loss of what to do to help.

I’m 30, my mum is 65, and my dad is 72.

While my mum has always had a complicated relationship with alcohol, over the last few years it’s grown into a real problem.

Whether she’s at work, out with friends, or just watching TV at home...
