So I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but this is a something that has been causing some serious problems in my family that have came to a head today.

So my mother had a battle with breast cancer just over a year ago and since then has developed some extremely bad drinking habits after her alcohol tolerance has been lowered by her chemo. it’s not that she is an alcoholic but that she always seems to bring up something about her cancer whenever she is drunk or something related to cancer.

After a fight broke out today when me and my dad were trying to get my mom to stop drinking with some family members we spoke about this and are worried if my mom could be going through some kind of PTSD related to her cancer.

I also believe these family members to be an extreme force multiplier in my moms behaviour as whenever she is around them she always gets extremely drunk which results in her getting extremely emotional.

Just want some insight into whether I should think about getting my mom some help or not.

Thanks
