DB sister G phoned last night, DB wouldn't answer phone, it was after 10 & 6th sense told him it was G. So I answered (have to could have been my mum needing help). Anyhow, G was sober, I spoke with her for over an hour. Rehab is booked, 3 months, seems to be a rural environment, there are 2 ponies, a dog and of course a number of therapy rooms and beds etc. just waiting on the 1 bed to be available for her. Her SW has been in daily contact and I believe she has been reducing the amount she was drinking in readiness for admission. I truly hope she can pull this off, she and DB lived horrific childhoods, what they experienced is enough to turn anyone's stomach. If you've ever read the book "a child called IT" well it closely mirrors what they endured.
DB grateful I spoke with her, I've told her she can call me any time she needs to, I've said she is loved, and worthy of that love. Mostly I just listened. I can't be her glue as well as DB. But for whatever reason, she feels I'm the only one she can talk to (when she is sober) maybe it's because I don't judge, maybe I don't offer alternative facts or justifications as to why things happened. I can only accept they happened.
Feeling very drained, had my bloods n X-rays taken a little while ago, sitting in coffee shop waiting for energy to drive car home. Had 3 hrs sleep again last night.
The positive today, is DB has gone to the gym before seeing his GP, and has agreed to ask for 20mg Brintellex anti-depressant script renewal. Big step forward for him!!
