I hate myself, like I cannot function,'" she says in the film."And then I got a little depressed and didn’t get out of bed.

"Arthur knew mom was definitely acting strangely, and I have told him I drank and that’s why I was in bed and childish and immature," she said."It is the worst thing I've ever done as a parent."She said she was blacked out during the incident from the alcohol and what she now knows was the pain of her MS that left her feeling like she was on fire.
