How do you deal with an alcoholic in-law that lives across the street?

My sister in-law recently moved in across the street and she is a raging alcoholic. She drinks nearly every night and at least twice a week she completely flips out. She has 3 kids and I can't stand that they are exposed to her screaming, breaking stuff and getting physical with anyone who tells her that her drinking is out of control. The problem really lies in the fact that my eight year old loves spending time with his cousins but I don't want him around that type of behavior. How do I tell him that he can't go over and play with his cousins because thier mom is an alcoholic. I feel bad for not letting him play with his cousins but I really don't want him exposed to her behavior. Please HELP!How do you deal with an alcoholic in-law that lives across the street?
Rifle with a high powered scope --------- Just kidding.



I have a couple of in-laws that are serious alcoholics too. I am 43 and still do not have the answers. They (She) will not do anything about the problem until She wants to. Just remember the things she does now are a result of the dependence on the alcohol. She is not in any way thinking clearly and does things contrary to what she knows to be right. This is not a personal attack on anyone she loves even though it may seem so. When she does come down, her world is going to crumble. Be there for her to help pick up the pieces and it will be a journey you will appreciate eternally.How do you deal with an alcoholic in-law that lives across the street?
Invite the cousins over to your house if that is at all possible. I think that it solves both problems. The other children are taken away more often from a situation which can not possibly benefit them in any way and instead placed in an environment in which they can be happy and safe, with you and your husband being beneficial role models (and possibly your own kids, too), and your kids get to play with their cousins in a safe environment. Everyone wins.
You need to step up... you need to have the kids over, and tell them that when their mom starts drinking and screaming, they need to come over and spend the night at your house.

At some point, you need to consider talking to the authorities... file a complaint with CPS, go to court and get custody of the kids as a foster mom, and get some money coming in from the state to support them.
lighten up hoebag, drink with her!



I'm just kidding, sorry.



But honestly, it is not the end of the world if your kids want to hang out with her, just have them hang out at your house.



And if they want to go there, hang out with their mom over there and try to become a better friend with her. After a while she might drink less and while you're there you can supervise the children a little.



It's summer time, buy a bag-o set.
for someone that is soooooo ';concerned'; why don't you call the authorities on her... but no, just sit and complain and ask how to deal with her.



SHAME ON YOU!!!
Well your best thing is let her kids come to your house and play so they can spend time together and that way your doing your nephews and nieces a favor but giving them a break those kids dont need to see it either! That is abuse and you need to call someone and get her help call something like CYS children and youth services in your comunity. Keep it anoumis so that you cant be blamed for calling. But if you dont then you are just as guilty for knowing and not doing anything to help your family especially the kids.. They need help! Good luck!
