My sister is a heroin addict - has been clean since the birth of her son who was born prematurely 1 month ago. My nephew has been taken into care and my mum is in the process of being checked by social services to see if she is a viable carer.
My sister has put the family through hell the last 10 Years - she was an alcoholic until 2 years ago when she began taking heroin. I am the closest to her geographically and personally speaking and a lot of responsibility has fallen on me. She is doing amazingly well so far but that does stop my constant anxiety.
We have been told by social services, if my mum fails the assessments my nephew will be put into care. I am worried I will never see him again, but at the same time terrified if this happened it would push my sister back into addiction
