thanks for that it never occured to me that kids could go to something like that and i'll look into it.
ugh that is a tough one. of course you don't want to refuse to let them see her, but I understand your concern. There is the AlAnon support group that friends and family of alcoholics can attend, why don't you go to that with your kids and get some therapy for the family. You can't make their mom change, but you can keep your kids safe and make sure they process everything in a healthy way.
