I wish there was somethig I could say or do to be able to help ease your pain.

I do remember when my great-grandfather was ill. He went to live with my grandma and grandpa. I was young (8 or 9 years old) but I remember that great-grandpa was a drinker, and I remember watching my grandmother "fix" the vodka bottles so that there was 25% vodka and 75% water in the bottle. Then when great-grandpa would mix it with his tonic, he thought he was getting vodka-tonic, but he was actually gettong tonic and water, with a tiny bit of vodka.

Would your mom notice if you slowly started adding water to the alcohol bottles? Would that help you to be able to give her what she wants, without having to deal with the after-effects of her drinking?

I hope you are taking care of yourself.
