My mother in law has a big drinking problem but refuses to get help. What can I do?

  • Posted on January 25, 2011 at 7:22 pm

She drives drunk and can’t take care of her life anymore. She still has her job but every night she gets wasted right away and acts crazy. She has a mentally challenges daughter who needs her to be a good mother and role model.
When confronting her directly she knows she has a problem but will not do anything about it and gets extremely angry. My wife (at 14 years) confronted her and ended up being kicked out of the house for 2 weeks.
Please, we need to help her somehow. What can we do?

What do you think of kids drinking VIRGIN drinks?

  • Posted on January 9, 2011 at 7:23 am

My husband and I never go out. We are with our daughters, ages 9 & 12 every second except while they’re at school. We do everything together, and are very close and open with one another.We have a great relationship with our girls. My question is this:
My husband and I occasionally make mixed drinks at home, such as strawberry margaritas, pina coladas, etc. and we drink them AT HOME, we DO NOT drink and drive EVER.
Sometimes we make the girls VIRGIN margaritas and they really like them.They like drinking fruity drinks, and they know to NEVER get into our alcohol.
Do you think it’s wrong for us to let them drink the virgin drinks? Is it sending them a bad message? I’ve always looked at it in the aspect that we are showing them that people are supposed to drink at HOME and NEVER drive when drinking. Am I wrong?

I think my daughter is having sex and possibly drinking! Parents, please help!?

  • Posted on December 26, 2010 at 1:22 pm

My daughter is 15 years of age. Before, she hung out with her friends at our house, their house, or the mall. Now, since she’s on summer break, she has been going to parties and friend’s house that I don’t know of.(She attends an all girls high school, so the new friends are mostly girls, which is a little weight lifted off my shoulder.)

She has had her friend’s that drive pick her up during the day while I’m at work, and from what I’ve heard from my neighbors, sometimes it’s a young male driving. A few times she’s comes home at 12 a.m a little dizzy and tired. I think she was drunk. I’m scared, and do not want her to get hurt. She told me the guy that was picking her up, and the other friends that have are good friends. I over heard conversations when I was picking her and her two girlfriends up from the mall asking my daughter [her] if a guy and her were going to hang out, kiss. I don’t mind that, it’s normal. Though, we all know that leads to one thing. I’m not one to talk to her about anything personal. Sorry if this is lengthy, but I NEED HELP!

18 Year Old drinking and (maybe) driving?

  • Posted on December 21, 2010 at 1:23 am

Another parent sent me several pictures of my 18 yr old, recent HS graduate son holding a beer at a variety of parties over the last several months-she got them from her daughter’s facebook account. While I had suspicions my son drank, I don’t get the feeling he overdoes; he has to come up and say goodnight when he gets home and I’m doing my best to look for drunken behavior. I do not condone underage drinking-but I’m not an idiot and I was 18 once (and it was legal to drink at 18 then). Anyway – he has a car, which he drives to and from these parties (friends are few blocks up to less than one mile away). Do I take it away and risk him getting into a car with someone else who had more to drink? I would be willing to go get him, but does that solve the problem? Does it appear that I’m saying “go ahead drink sweetie, mom will pick you up”? Not interested in punishing an 18 yr old leaving for college shortly-just don’t want to know he’s doing this and do nothing about it. Thanks

daughter’s father has visitation rights, but he is drinking and doing drugs and I cannot prove it.?

  • Posted on December 14, 2010 at 9:20 am

My daughter’s father and I have a court ordered custody arrangement. The father was an alcoholic and drug user, and after he completed rehab I agreed to let him have visitations. We live in different states so his family picks her up and takes her to there home hours away. We recently became on ‘good terms’ and he began telling me scary things via the phone (shooting someone up with meth, drinking alcohol, living with a guy who uses drugs, how his mother is messed up on alcohol and xanax.) I am in fear of letting my daughter go out to see him now, but I don’t have any proof as to what he is doing except for what he tells me over the phone, which makes it difficult to take him to court. He won’t say anything incriminating over text messages or on my answering machine either. What can I do to protect my daughter?
