Help for a loved one
I am seriously concerned about my aunt. (She raised me so, she is really a mother to me) She is 43 years old and has a serious alcohol problem and also smokes pot on a daily basis. She has also told me that she has been experimenting with Crack Cocaine. I am worried to death about her. She just found out that she is pregnant and she still insists on drinking and using drugs. She is extremely violent when she is drunk, she is a danger to herself and this unborn child. Within the past week alone, she has had to get 4 staples in her head from a fall that she took while drunk. Also, three days later while drunk again she fell, hitting her head again having to receive 30 stitches (15 on the inside 15 on the outside) She cannot hold a job, she has been stealing money from her three biological sons (ages 16, 19, 21) she has been arrested for lude conduct, public drunkenness, and other things. I have lost hope but, I fear for this baby that she is carrying. Is there any thing that you could recommend for us to make her get help for the sake of the baby? She lives in Pennsylvania. I need to try to find a program that she can be put in to. Please, any suggestions or help I would greatly appreciate.
