[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 745284, member: 11235"] I've been through a very similar situation and it's so difficult when grandchildren are involved. Except for when she moved to another state my daughter depended on me for lots of help with my granddaughter so she had a reason to stay in contact with me and maintain baseline respect towards me. That being said, when I have been concerned about the effects of her drinking on my granddaughter I have never hesitated to call CPS. I remember doing it 4 times, but it could be more. This last time they were actually very responsive and got in contact with me twice after visiting with my daughter and granddaughter. Did it cause conflict between me and my daughter? Not as much as you would expect. I think it freaked her out so badly every time that she sort of got herself reigned in and didn't take her anger out on me. I'm sorry you're going through this as I know how distressing it is. Please try and keep your focus on yourself and maintaining your own health and peace of mind. If you fear for the safety or care of your grandchild or your unborn grandchild I urge you to call CPS. These kids can't speak up for themselves, so we have to be their voice no matter how hard it is. [/QUOTE]
