but, i will say. if you need to break up with her and remain friends until she gets mentally stable... i would suggest that and i think it is a good idea. calling social services is pretty extreme thing to suggest, especially since most of you have no idea about the entire situation. for all you know, she put the daughter out because she knew she would be with pierrek.
i don't know, this whole thing pisses me off. all i can think of is i will pray for you and your situation pierrek. i spoke to you in chat, and so i hope you would consider some advice i gave to you. good luck to you and your journey.

This makes no sense, are you saying you should stay with someone just because they are mentally ill?
At the detriment of your own health?
And have we all forgotten he has a son living through this nightmare also?
He is not a Dr, or a mental health worker it isn't his job to fix her or make her better.
That's her job. But first she has to a knowledge she is unwell.
It sounds very much like she is still drinking,
Also if you read the OP's post, she chucked her daughter out first.
THEN chucked him out cos he wanted to let the daughter back in.
So I would definitely be concerned for the child's welfare.
One more thing, it is so often the case that well meaning partners and their behaviour are actually detrimental to someone's mental health condition because they get pulled into it, causing escalation of the behaviour .
Often it is too late when they see it's the illness affecting the behaviour and they have already fed into the cycle.
This relationship isn't healthy, the woman involved shouldn't be in any relationship.
She should be working on her relationship with her daughter.
And for that she needs help.
