Alcoholic Mother

Back 2 Basics

Hi

Dunno if this is the right forum, but I want to know my rights with regard to the alcoholic mother of my two children. I left the family home because of this 4-5 years ago, since then its just got worst. my son calls me on a regular basis saying his mother wont wake up. I call the police and go down to the house but I am affraid to make to much a fuss because one guard told me one time she could get a barring order. But contrary to this the social worker has told me to take the children if she is p1ssed. I tried this one night but she would not let go of my youngest so I just left with my eldest. She has the house( (not legally) and I have no key and she has fallen into arrears on the mortgage to. Its just a big mess. What could I do?. I ve been to court and the judge would not give me custody only weekly access. Last week there was a rope mark around my little girls neck and she wouldn tell what happened. I am at wits end. Please dont reply with obvious answers just ones will help and also if you know nout about this type of thing. Thanks for reading.

I imagine you are mate but to be honest you really need to speak to a solicitor in person. Legal advice can not be given here and in your case it may be bad advice. You may also want to look up some fathers support groups.

Contact social services and her local garda station. Tell them both of your concerns about the safety of the children. Get the name of the person you are tlaking to and try and deal with the same person all the time. You should also write to each of them.
