Hi after some advice on how to approach this subject.
I don't want my daughter sleeping over at her Nan's house once covid restrictions are relaxed further. But don't want to alienate myself from my mom.
In mine and others opinions she has a drink problem, this became more apparent when I had to do her shopping due to needing to self isolate with her partner.
Prior to the covid pandemic, my mum would have had my daughter in the past to stay. But I wasn't aware of how much she'd been drinking, I mean one or two drinks at the maximum fine. But more than that then that's when I have a problem. Due to covid I've not had to have the worry of my daughters Nan not asking her for a sleep over. But with it easing my mom has mentioned sleep overs for in the future.
I and my brother have approached our mom about the alcohol and said we both felt she was drinking too much. She agreed and sort help. But this has since stopped I believe.
But as we no longer had to do her shopping we're not aware to how much is being brought and consumed. But I've spoke to her over the phone and she's been slurring her words. At this point I just find any excuse to get of the phone. It's doesn't give me or my daughters dad (step dad) any confidence. (My mom and partner don't get on anyway.)
If it makes any difference my child is 8 with special needs (possible autism and ADHD.)
I'm happy for my daughter to sleep at my nans with my aunties as none drink.
Thanks for any advice on how to approach this.
