I have a great concern for the well being and living environment of my 3-year-old daughter.
I was with her mother for just over 4 years and now we have separated. Reason for separation was because we always argued and her drinking problem. We have tried relationship therapy for over 18 months and that didn't work either. Although I would love more than anything in the world for my daughter to have a loving mother in her life, I don't want my daughter growing up with an alcoholic mother who has been arrested and charged with drink driving 3 times over the limit whilst with my daughter in the car.
Our therapist has tried numerous techniques to get her to quit with no success. I have walked in the house in the past with my daughter covered in a blanket, freezing with clothes drenched in urine whilst her mother is drunk off her head. There was a time where I was called to the house by an ambulance too with my ex passed out on bed because she was too drunk and my daughter was sitting there with no one.
My question is am I able to obtain full custody of children, given all the circumstances and proof with therapist and police records?
I would love for my ex to see her a few times a week as I do believe that a mother should always be a part of a child's life, however a mother that has a long history of alcohol abuse problems needs to sort herself out before being a full time mother.
I love my daughter more than anything in the world and would do anything for her to have a stable and safe living environment.
