At wits end everything we try fails
My daughter in law in her early 40’s has returned to her very alarming ways. As a little background she was a recovering alcoholic and had been for 7 years after spending 6 months at a WHOS rehabilitation centre. She had a child shortly after and was a really good mum and support for her son. About 12 months ago she started “social drinking” against all advice. At the beginning of this year the father refused to return the child after a weekend access and we spent 4 months in and out of court to get him back, which we did. Unknown to us, during this period she was drinking in the background and in the last 2 weeks my wife has moved in to her house to protect our grandchild. The daughter in law has been diagnosed with PTSD, but refuses to get help instead drinks 4 to 5, 750 ml bottles of Vodka in short sessions a week. We have tried talking, she has been hospitalised but just checks out. My wife and I are trying and my wife cops verbal abuse and so I worry about her too, she is showing signs cracking up as well. I am not sure where to go from here as there are so many overwhelming issues to deal with any advice would be appreciated
