My friend’s wife has been on a bender for a few days. She was sent away to rehab and came back out and started drinking again.
Typically this would be an “oh that sucks” type of thing but she’s 8 months pregnant and doesn’t want to stop drinking nor does she seem to get that she’s 8 months pregnant. Or care.
Now we gotta get her somewhere.
Rehabs don’t want an 8 month pregnant lady. CPS won’t step in til the baby is born. Detox only wants her for 3 days. I’ve got people in addiction services for 40 plus years tossing all these plans back and forth about how they can get her here then there and get through this last month keeping her locked up until she has the baby but the sad fact is she doesn’t want to get sober.
No one can force anyone to do this. It’s just the way it is. Right now she is being held for a few days in detox. After that, they are moving her over to another place for another few days stay.
The only thing that is keeping her in is she has no where to go. Her husband said don’t come back. Her parents say the same thing.
No one is giving her any money so she’s basically forced there by situation. No one can hold her.
When the baby is born, CPS is already on the way to do a blood test so this is already way down a bad road.
For three days I’ve had people working to get plans going only to have her freak out and leave and the thing is most people would let her go through her little tantrum and let her go get drunk but she’s 8 months pregnant and an alcoholic....
Anyways...hey what can you say. I’m going to bed frustrated hoping we don’t have to start this all over again.
These damn drunks really get on your nerves.
