Hi,

I’m sorry to hear about this situation. My sister is an alcoholic and has been from the age of 16 until present day (she is now 30). Your daughter sounds like she has a similar temperament to my sister. She was known to social services and on several occasions there were incidents involving the police, however they were adamant that my niece must remain with my sister. We taught my niece our home number from a very young age and when she was just 12 months she dialed our phone to what sounded like ww3 was going on in the background. To cut a long story short, my mum is now the guardian to my niece and has been for the last 7 years, it doesn’t look like my sister is about to change any time soon. I agree with what you are saying, that she is an adult and you cannot fix her life for her. I wish you all the strength in the world, there is only so much you can do. If your granddaughters are old enough my advice would be to make sure they always have access to your number. Sorry there isn’t much I can do to help but I just wanted you to know that aren’t alone with this and I can empathise with your frustrations
