Hi folks
Am at the end of my tether. Have found out recently (and it has confirmed what i suspected all along) that mum and dad have declined further tests/assessments for mum. Her initial scan showed significant shrinkage of the brain, probably due to alcohol, since that initial scan they have declined offers of support in terms of the alcohol and any further assessment/investigations. Despite being told that giving up alcohol could stop progression of mum's condition, and that some of the damage could repair itself , Dad is still allowing mum to drink (I say that because mum's condition is so poor that I'm sure without dad's help she couldn't get alcohol and certainly doesn't have the ability to open a bottle for herself).
I just don't know where to turn now. We have tried to talk to dad sol many times but we just get told to basically mind our own business.
Any ideas and suggestions would be very gratefully received. It breaks my heart to see mum fading away before my eyes and dad struggling to cope with things but refusing any help.
K xx
