I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I don't know where else to put it. My mum is a functioning alcoholic. She drinks 2 or 3 bottles of wine a day, every day. She has a ton of health problems, and she's finally gone to the doctor, but she lied when she was asked about her drinking habits.
She got a blood test done, and a lot of it has come back with things that indicate alcohol abuse. We talked about it tonight, and she really doesn't believe it is that, and still insists she isn't abusing alcohol. Her partner (my stepdad) also doesn't believe she abuses alcohol, so he will not help me (he doesn't drink much, so it isn't the fact that he is in on it with her, I don't know why he believes this, or at least tells her he does.
I'm really worried about her, and I really want to let her GP know that she lied, and she needs help with her drinking, but I don't know how. She has a call with the doctor on Monday about her results, and I've brought up the idea of maybe telling the truth, but I doubt she will.
Is there anything I can do? Or is this one of those things where she is an adult, and doesn't have to tell them? I wonder if they'll know anyway, by her results. Thanks for the help.
