My bf (now ex) has a child with a woman who is clearly unfit. She has a history of (hard) drug addiction. We've caught her doing some pretty bad things- being high on hard drugs while he's in her care, leaving him alone in the house, not picking him up from school (we found her at a spa, after he'd been waiting for 3 hours), suggesting that he be left overnight with a cat for a babysitter.
Now she's slipped back into hard drug use. My ex won't do anything, won't report her, won't go for custody. Just keeps dropping him off every other week. He says it would be too hard on the boy to take away custody from his mom, and that these "mistakes" don't happen often enough to warrant it.
He says he's smoked weed in the past week (when he hasn't had his son) and if I report her, she'll report him and have him tested and the boy will end up in foster care. I don't want to risk him losing custody. He gives that boy so much love and attention and really takes good care of him.
