Carrie told me you had to leave work because your mum is in hospital. Is she okay?
She'll be okay, he broke her arm. She went to talk to him, found him on the floor passed out and woke him up. He was furious and grabbed her. I don't know what to do anymore.
Isaac, I'm so sorry. I think it might be best you call for help for him?
He'll get arrested and mum doesn't want that. She still loves him.
He was never like this growing up. He just drank and he could handle it, it was a problem, but no one said anything because he could function and provide. He can't handle it anymore.
He needs help and you know that.
I can't do that against my mum's decision.
I know. Just talk to her about it, it's best for both of them.
Can you come to the hospital? I really need to see you.
Yes.
