Child in need plan

[Mumof51983]

Hi. My youngest daughter who’s 1 today. Her dad uses alcohol as a coping mechanism. I’m not making excuses for him but in the last 2 years, we’ve lost my mum, his dad (he wasn’t invited to his funeral), his mum (was told via a mutual friend she had died and again wasn’t invited to the funeral), I had our baby early, she was prem and I lost over 4 litres of blood, had an hysterectomy to save my life. Then when she was 5 weeks old she caught RSV and nearly died. When he decides to drink he leaves the house, social services say he goes missing but he doesn’t cos he stays in touch with me. He has a habit of calling the police and has asked a number of times when he’s been taken to hospital for help, but always been discharged and nothing has come of it. The last time he did this, social services have now got involved. They have stated if he lived with me then the children would go on child protection. He has no where or no family around him. The social worker called today and said the kids are going on child in need. He has done a detox this time and been put on anti depressants and medication for his drinking.
Honestly social services just stress me and the kids out. I don’t want my daughter’s dad on the streets either. I feel in between a rock and a hard place at the moment. He is here today as it’s our daughter’s 1st birthday and when the social worker called I did tell her he was. I just don’t know what to do. He hasn’t drank for 16 days now either even though he is going through crap and no where to live. Can anyone give me some advice please
