Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication Read ASAP

[kwilliams]

Okay so here is the situation: My whole entire family has alcohol issues. Usually I don't really mind, but the thing is...my mom is pregnant. She doesn't drink all the time, but I have noticed her drinking 2 maybe 3 times. And she's not super drunk, but I know she had been drinking. I just need to know what I have to do to make her stop. I feel like I should call the police because I can't tell her not to. I mean, I have, but I think I'm making a big deal out of this. Her boyfriend and sister, my aunt, don't stop her. I don't understand. Don't they know how that effects the baby? So I don't want my mom to hate me if I do something drastic, but there really is no other way right now. So any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

P.S Is this against the law??

Download articles on fetal alcohol syndrome and read them to her. She could be seriously damaging the baby's brain development as well as physically damage the baby. Download some of the pictures of the babies and tape them to the alcohol bottle. It doesn't take a lot of alcohol to cause damage but some people think one or two drinks won't cause harm when it actually can. Every baby is different; so, if she drank with you and you came out okay she may think it's safe; but the next baby, this baby, may not be so lucky. Good luck!
