what's your story and what are your motives seek? you seem to be pretty defensive of the drunk in this situation....
i definitely mentioned the violent behavior--- read the posts-- and in my non alcoholic mindset world, i don't stand idly by while one parent hides criminal behavior from the other and subjects kids to living with drunken antics and turn a blind eye.
and if child protective services thinks it is totally fine that a parent hides her live in boyfriends DWI from the father of the kids and doesn't give him the chance to have a say as to whether he wants his own kids living with that kind of chaos, then that's fine...
but my moral compass says that turning a blind eye where helpless kids are involved and pretending this is ok when it's not, is NOT ok.
