Thanks for your response. She drinks whenever she can, usually when she gets her benefits and that leads on to the drugs. I am not sure what she takes but think it is crack. She would rather spend all her money on this and then pleads with us that she is hungry and needs money for food. We always buy the food rather than give her the money. I feel like we should stop doing this but it is so hard to see her this way. She says she is engaged with a drugs and alcohol service but I see no evidence of this. It is part of her probation so I guess she has to do something.
