Eddward,
I regret to inform you that your mother has given in to her vices once more, and will be unable to keep any appointed meetings you may have once had with her. She is in no condition to fulfil her obligations to anyone, as she has found herself in the hospital, yet again. It is not dire, but she has injured herself. Her sponsor has informed me that she has no desire to converse about what she has done, though I don't believe this is unusual, as she prefers to wallow in her own troubles. Do not phone her; she needs to learn from this, though whether or not it will successfully teach her to avoid the substance is anyone's guess.
I imagine you are disheartened by her failings, but I remind you not to allow them to interfere with your schoolwork. Do not allow her to distract you from your schoolwork, and attempt to restrain any emotional outbursts until the coming weekend, when you've no responsibilities. I will permit you to not cook this Sunday morning as a gesture of good will and understanding. I will be out for much of the weekend, for despite my severed relationship with your mother, I am not heartless, and need to be distracted from her folly.
However, do not stay home from school as you have in the past. I will be certain to phone them to assure you arrived. Do not disappoint me, Eddward.
