I left my husband almost a year ago because he has a drinking problem. To make a very long story short,he pretty much didn't want to change for me or his daughters because he ended up finding another woman and now she is pregnant with his baby. This girl says that she doesn't want this baby and when this baby is born she is going to give it to my husband.(it is a very weird relationship) I don't want my husband to have this baby at all because he has already hurt so many lives because of his drinking. He has to drink to get through the day. My husband passes out all the time and I don't want this baby to be crying while he is passed out. I stay up at night worring about this baby because my husband can't even take care of himself,so how can he take care of a baby? I know he can't and that is why it is bothering me so much. I want to call social services if he does get this baby,is that ok? Would you do the same? I don't want him to hurt this baby,thats all.

I would do just that. If she leaves the baby with him, call social services. Let them investigate and find out what's going on. Aside from taking the baby and raising it yourself (PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!!) that's the only option you have that would benefit this poor unborn child. Obviously the mother isn't going to take care of it.
Call child services, and let them sort it out. What is your custody arrangement with your children? If he isn't allowed to see your children, they probably won't allow him to raise the baby by himself.

Notify social services now so they can get a handle on this case right now before the baby is born and work with the mother to avoid confrontations later. Explain to social services what you told us above and theyll take it from there

Definitely call social services. I don't know what they can do before the baby is born, but it is worth a try. You may be the only "voice" for that unborn child right now.

Are you divorced from this man? If not, I would certainly consider it. If you are working, and still married to this guy, you may have to help pay for support of this child. Maybe I am cold hearted, but I sure wouldn't want to do that. I realize the child is an innocent, but he sure isn't YOUR responcibility. Your husband needs HELP and he also needs to grow up. I would call social services if I were you.

I would absolutely call Social Services. Someone needs to step up for a helpless baby.

She might say she is going to give up the baby ,but after nine months of carry the baby and the feeling of separation that comes with giving birth, I don't think she will give up the baby,but if she does I would definitely alert the proper authorities of the situation.

Unless you have some proof social services isn't going to do a damn thing. This is your ex's baby he has every right to try and raise this child without you causing trouble.
