Concerned dad here, my son's mother has always had a habit of drinking heavily when she has some free time. Recently it's been turning into unacceptable behaviour, on a couple of occasions now when come back from spending time with me she is in no fit state to have him (4yo) and I end up taking him back with me, due to the hours of my work this isn't practical and it's having an adverse effect on my employment, but regardless he is my priority. Am at a bit of a loss what to do moving forward I'm very suspicious that this isn't the only times this is happening and having been advised by a friend in law enforcement that should I call the police it wouldn't amount to neglect as I'm present and he's in the care of a responsible adult being myself the police would only act if she was under the influence and looking after him. If that's coming from the police I'm hesitant to contact social services and if they go knocking round his mother's she could and probably would cut all contact from me and him for the foreseeable future until court proceedings for access could be enforced. Has anyone been in similar situation before and able to give their two cents?
Thanks in advance
