Oh, the more it changes, the more it stays the same

Today we discovered that Mum has been drinking for nearly nine months, and that she'd told all her friends that her doctor had said it was okay for her to drink. (What he actually told her was "You'll probably die if you start drinking again." You can see how easily one might confuse the two.) My sisters and I were the only people not to have known.

Tara says my niece has been crying and fretting for her Marnie that she loves.

I've not been to see her in hospital yet. I'm not going to try and speak to her till I can do it without screeching, raging, smacking her or bursting into tears. This might take a few days yet, but I know it won't achieve anything. I need to be calm at her if there's to be any chance of salvaging anything.

Sensible policy. There will always be something to salvage.
