i,m 5mths in alcohol recovery,my rock bottom was a car crash involving my 2 children,thankfully no one hurt,my 5yr old is a very strong character,can manipulate very well as can most kids.I have been working with support workers to see if there is any underlying problems with her and all,social worker,health visitors etc say they are very happy with her development and don,t see a problem,i,ve attended groups at family centers so i can continue to be a good"single" parent
My daughter doesn,t draw skull and cross bones pictures where her happy family should be,she is a normal 5yr old all be it bossy and load,very strong,which i believe has helped in there being no lasting damage if i continue to work with her
my ex mother in law thinks she is insecure,unstable,scared and confused so treats herso treats her for this by giving in to her every wim
example;we went to the beach the other day my daughter walked into a "tiny"dent in the sand and started wineing she couldn,t get out,mother inlaw was straight there"come on my lamb"she pretends to be stuck on the sofa granny will stop every thing and help her up,ofcourse she expects this at home,i also have a 2yr old,mother in law says she,s trying to get my attention"of coarse if she gets this sort of attention there"i give her loads of good attention,i,m a real hands on mum,PLEASE has anyone got any advise on this,i don,t want to upset mother in law but thi is very dangerous for me so early in sobrioty,HELP
