Update: In December my Auntie In Law passed away in hospital with her husband. At least now she is at peace. Thinking of you always xxx
So sad and annoyed - I cant post this on the wall because family will read and they are psychotic and I dont think they did enough. My Auntie In Law who I thought was fab has been an alchie but MIL thought it best not to tell any of us and to hide it. We found out from her daughter who is few years younger because she needed someone to talk to but we werent to tell people (she was telling us and others that her hubby had tried to throttle her, etc and of course not knowing she was an alchie). Well her hubby left her and mil and gmil decided that she was a bitch to their son/brother so decided to wash their hands of her too.

Last year she was rushed into hospital around the time of my wedding and was told if she drank again that would be it shes in such bad shape it would kill her. She was doing so well looking good, doing voluntary work and putting her life on track. but then say Sept time I saw her outside Asda hammered she was a complete mess. I rang hubby to tell MIL that she was back on the drink and her response was oh well we have been here before. She got rushed in a fortnight ago and now mil and gmil are up there every day. Now ive just been told she has pneumonia and its either today or tomorrow she is going to go. Its so sad shes only 52 her daughter just got engaged last xmas but it makes me angry that they didnt do anything for her now they are making such a fuss of going up there its so two faced. Instead of hiding it and enabling her when it first became a problem they should have made it public to the immediate family and set up support networks within to help rather than put all effort in hiding.
