Ironically after having 2 voddies tonight me is ready to spill about why me so blue..... My mother is an alcoholic.... and she has gone AWOL..... no-one has heard from her for nearly a week.... Dad has decided that he wants a divorce and I can't say I blame him as he's been married to her for 44 years..... So much for moving them south to find peace in their lives!!!!! Me just finding this hard to deal with and I don't really know what to do to find her so if anyone has any advice then please let me know!! Someone from the boards has just offered to drive round there in the morning and ask a neighbour to call me..... I won't name names but you know who you are and i owe you BIG time..... THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! She has been found but currently in hospital and I am waiting for a call to find out what is wrong with her.... I understand that she fell badly on Sat and its the result of the drink! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT - And my knight in shining armour..... my family say a HUGE thank you!!

Oh Diana That's terrible. You must be worried sick about them both. Have you no idea where she is? Were you the lady whose parents were coming to live with her? :0( Joan xx

oh my god ! I really don't know what to say - don't get that often eh ? Is it possible that moving house has just tipped her over the edge - could she have gone back 'home' ? probably can't be of any practical use but you know if there's anything I can do, anything at all, you only have to ask. Paul xx

Joan yes me was that lady...... whats worse is they are both deaf and therefore phone calls aren't possible!! And yes me worried about her..... Dad is safely with my sis at present but I also have to deal with him coming home on Sunday and not knowing how I am gonna get him cared for whilst I am at work..... he has cataracts too so deaf and nearly blind!!!

Paul, thanks mate and yeah she may have gone back to her bungalow but she hated it there so much I doubt it but that's why me asking if anyone can do a drive by in Great Yarmouth to see if she is back there!!

Oh Diana! what a lot to cope with. YOu must be able to get help from somewhere. There must be someone on this board who would know what authorities can help you. Louise xxx

ok, that makes sense now. When I said home, I didn't necessarily mean the place she lived, just the area - have you tried their friends etc (silly question, of course you have). Have you tried calling the police there, if you explained the situationthey may go and check the house ?

Diana honey, have you told the police? maybe they could find her, im sorry im not much use. Im here for you too anytime you need Sheila xx

oh hun im so sorry you must be worried sick i hope you find her soon love and hugs susie

OMG!!!! Have you told the police? Can I ask how old she is?? Joan xx

oh sweetie, you must be worried sick I'm sure you'll find her soon Take care claire x

Diana That's terrible - you must ring the police! You must be out of your mind with worry and I'm thinking about you. Debby

Oh flippin ek........not sure how to advise. So sorry to hear this news Diana. If i can help, just shout. love Strump xx

diana,i'me so sorry to read this ((((HUGS )))) with poor eyesight/hearing she is vulnerable,as an alcoholic,she is in urgent need of help. please contact the police straight away. best wishes to you all....bryan.

Daft i know but the Norfolk constablubary have had too many dealings with her in the past with her drunken 999 calls and I am frightened of asking for their help this time.... but i think time has come to call them and see if they can help!!

I take it they cant Text? A member of my family is deaf, so I have met a few deaf people and know how they cope. Marion

Diana So sorry to hear about your parents. I haven't anything useful to say as I think other people have already given the sensible suggestions, so all I can offer is sympathy and positive thoughts. Hope you find your mother soon. Love Helen

D , I am so sorry to hear this. Please call the Police, Mum's vulnerable, they'll help you. Hope you find her safe and well soon. Luv Jan xx

Diana, I'm somewhat speechless also at what's happened, I doubt anyone would find this straightforward to deal with. Not sure what else to say right now but hope she is found as soon as possible. Take care Andyx

Text is the normal way of her communicating but her mobile was cut off when she moved here as Dad and her were sharing his to save on cost, but it now means she doesn't have one for anyone to get hold of her!!!! Its such a mess!!
