Question by : Is okay for parents to occasionally drink and use drugs?
I have a friend who goes out with her husband once a month and they drink while her mom watches their child. Recently she told me that two or three times a year, they will do crystal meth. I don’t have any reason to believe she does it more often than that or that she is addicted or anything. She is a great mom to her child but this troubles me. Should I call child protective services or something?
