Am I a shit person if I see someone going down a slippery slope and not doing anything?

@slipperyslope22

She's going through a breakup but still living with her OH they hate each other.She's on a high dosage of anti depressants getting so drunk she is passing out left me with her kids to put them to sleep. Driving her kids rounds after having a few drinks. Good at hiding her drinking situation and is functioning quite well for the amount she is drinking. I am having to cover for her a lot.
Fuck that.

If she's getting pissed and driving HER CHILDREN around, I wouldn't just watch her starting down a slippery slope, I'd be taking away anything she could cling onto to arrest her fall.

Definitely a Social Services, police and school safeguarding one there. And if her hated OH gets the kids, as long as he isn't drinking and driving, too, GOOD.

Depends how happy you'd be to live with knowing you could have saved defenceless children when she drink drives and crashes and kills them.

Ignoring drink driving is wrong and you should be contacting the police and probably school at the very least.

You need to inform Social Services. How old are the children? Will they be able to confirm what is happening?
