Not sure where to post this but at a total loss I’m 21 year old and 15 weeks pregnant for the past year I’ve known my mum has a alcohol issue all my life I’ve helped look after four kids all under ten the social are now involved and yet she still keeps drinking I love the kids like my own I wish I would keep them all with me I spend all my wages on them but I don’t think there social worker will allow that but three of the four kids dads don’t want them I would have said something already and told them how bad it really is but I’m just afraid I’ll lose them and never see them again but this can’t carry on I worry about where she is what she’s doing all day long and if she’s late back I’ll go out looking for her sorry for the para needed to rant somewhere just feel so alone

You need to let ss know what is really going on lovely. Covering up for her is not helping. What will happen when you are on maternity pay and have a new born too?

How old are the children?

Two seven and twins who are both 9 I know that I do I’ve tired taking all her money but she still somehow gets drunk the two year old is now at her dads and I don’t think she will be coming back mums currently out getting drunk so I haven’t let her come home and have the other three. My friends mum got her kids taken she sees her brother twice a year I just don’t think I could deal with that I really have looked after them or they would of been gone years ago because of her mental health and then drug addiction and know a alcoholic there is no stopping her though so I know your right

I agree with Jacks. I think you need to let SS know what’s going on. Are you going to be living with your Mum when baby arrives? Does your MW know about your Mum?

If you’ve not already, please call adfam. You are dealing with a lot and adfam should be able to help you Thanks

Thankyou I will look at it later and yeah my MW knows and no I won’t be living here we are looking for a place now but if that fails I will be moving in with my oh mum
