GAL, as someone who grew up with an alcoholic parent who used to call me similar names as your W to D14, get the kids out of that sitch! Most people have no idea how damaging that is to a kid.
Not sure how to go about it, based on what hard evidence. Will talk to friends mum who works in social services

I'm so glad you are being the rock for them during this hard time! Hang in there!
Thanks LP, told the kids that I was trying to be the stable rock for them during this time, to give them a sense of "normality", not going to sugar coat it, ITS HARD!
