Question by Chloe: Should my friend go to rehab or will it further hurt her chances of losing custody of her child?
My friend has a bad alcohol problem where she goes on binges and forgets about her son. I know the boy’s father is sick of it. He drinks too but he is what they call a “functioning alcoholic”. I want to really get her into a free rehab (she has no job nor house, everything belongs to her boyfriend who is the father of her 5 year old son). Alot of his relatives (parents, aunt/uncle) live very close and she is terrified of losing custody. She also wants to save her relationship but in order to do this, he needs to keep leaving cases of beer around the house. I went to a 30 day rehab that was free that was decent, I’d like her to go. However, if she admits her problem and goes will this further her chances of atleast having shared custody of her son?

Best answer:

Answer by Mother Martha
Don’t get involved with her problem. You can’t help an alcoholic…she needs to see a professional…a doctor or the police who can direct her somewhere maybe.

Keep out of it !
