[quote=Anonymous]The ultimate story.  My sister has drunk heavily throughout her adult life (now 57).  She was married to a man who drank heavily.  After she left her husband, she started dating a long time family friend who is a nice guy but also drinks heavily.  She has drunk heavily for most of her adult life.  A months ago she went to the hospital for liver failure.  She almost died but is recovering.  The point is that she has a serious alcohol abuse problem.

When she was married, she didn't find out she was pregnant until she was almost 6 months.  She just thought she had some soft of virus, took OTC meds until her problems wouldn't go away and she went to her PCP.  The doc asked her how far along she was and she asked "for what?"

My niece is now 22 and just graduated magna cum laude in the top 5 of her class.  She's a brilliant young woman who already had a corporate job lined up in January ready to start as soon as she graduated (two weeks ago).

Many woman have been in your situation and the children are fine.
