Ex picking DD up off the back of a bender

After being asked, he admitted that he was drinking/taking coke until 7am Sunday and was here to collect DD at 10am.

It’s absolutely none of my business what he does outside of DD but I am really angry at him for driving with her (30/40 minute journey) in a state. He has admitted that this wasn’t the first time and he sees no wrong in it as it’s during his ‘free time’ and not when he is actually with DD.

I would like to tell him he can’t see DD unsupervised but I know he wouldn’t see her at all and I also know there is no way he could afford to take me to court if I stopped access altogether so DD would suffer.

Would I be unreasonable to ask him to take home alcohol/drug tests in front of me before he collects her in the future? He is usually a good dad and it’s easy to see how much DD thinks of him so I really want him to keep seeing her but I need to ensure she is not being out at risk.

I would like to tell him he can’t see DD unsupervised but I know he wouldn’t see her at all So... coupled with his willingness to drive her when he’s not sober, he’s actually not that good a dad at all then?

I informed the police as soon as I was made aware, I also emailed screenshots of him admitting to it in messages so they have proof. It's not something he will be getting away with.

You can’t let your daughter go with him again.

She won’t see either of her parents if she’s dead, will she?

You have to protect your dd, simple as that.
