Hi, I could really do with some advice from more experienced family members.

The alcoholic in my life is my baby’s father. He’s functioning and is able to hold down a really responsible job. I ended the relationship after our daughter was born on advice from health professionals that I’d risk losing my children if we stayed together.

We went to court recently to make a order for contact and the court didn’t have any issue with him having our baby unsupervised as long as he knows there will be consequences if he drinks with her on his care.

I saw him yesterday with our baby and he is doing so well- he’s got his life in order in a way I’ve never seen from him before. He wants to get back together and so do I. Am I being reckless? I know neither family or friends will support us reuniting

Hi Teacupmum,

I have no experience with alcohol addiction.

I just wanted to say you sound like an excellent mum, putting your children before your feelings.

Hope everything works out for you.

Glad to hear he is on the mend. H x
