As an RN, its not hard for me to give patients (complete strangers) information or advice on sensitive subjects. However, today I am having the hardest time figuring out how to knock some much needed sense into a close friend's head! I need some advice and encouragement STAT!!
This friend is 4 mos pregnant and she is literally drowning her baby in wine. I met up with her and another girlfriend last weekend at a restaurant. The two of them had been hanging out all day before I met them at the restaurant. Long-story-short....the other girlfriend informed me the next day that "Preggo" had downed a whole bottle of wine (and then some) earlier in the day. And this seems to be happening on a regular occasion, according to the other friend.
I want to shove pictures of babies and children born with FASD in her face and yell, "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN??!!". But I'm asking for your suggestions and advice before I do that :) Any stories, links to great resources, etc. are very much welcomed as well.
