Not pregnancy related but opinions would be helpful

Ok. So I recently found out that my sister has been drinking and driving and smoking with my son in the car. (He wreaked like cigarettes when he got home and the girlfriend she was with pulled me aside and told me my sister had been drinking and was refusing to let her drive since it was "only 3 or 4 beers".) I didn't want to deprive my son of his aunt all together because he really loves her, so I said she could still come around, but she was no longer allowed to take him anywhere or be alone with him since she can't be trusted to follow my rules when he is in her care and obviously has a complete disregard for his safety and we'll being and a complete lack of respect for him. This has caused a huge rift with me and my sister. I am torn as to whether I should try to mend things with her (while sticking to my guns about not being alone with him, my son's safety comes first) or whether I should write her off all together and cease all contact. Family means a lot to me, but my son's life means more. I'm just really hurt over the whole thing and I could really use some support.. Have any of you ladies been in a similar situation? How did you handle it?

Honestly, my sister does that stuff with my niece (her daughter) in the car so when my son gets here, I won't be letting her drive with him in the car or let her take him anywhere alone. If she can't understand where you're coming from and understand that behavior is unacceptable I'd cut her off.

I have never been in this situation.. Yet.. And hopefully never. Personally, I feel for you. Family means alot, especially your child. If it were me I would keep contact with my sister and let her see my daughter still, not alone. Until she can prove to me she can respect her and my rules. I think you're doing the right thing

If she's  reacting the way she is, it's probably because deep down she knows shes wrong. Give her time to hopefully accept shes wrong. This might even be her turning point. If i where in ur shoes I'd be doing the same thing, GOOD JOB!!!

Stick to your guns nothing is worth your son's life sorry sister or no sister. If she is truely your sister she will understand and get her stuff together.

You're doing through right thing protecting your baby. Family means a lot to me to, so my advice would be stick to your guns, but try to mend the rift as best you can. Hopefully she is just being defensive right now and will come around eventually. But baby always comes first, so she'll just have to understand that.

I've never been in this situation.
  But I wouldn't completely write her off. Communication is the key. If I Were you. I just wouldn't let her take my child out the house anymore. Not even to the conner store. Things happen between siblings you guys will work it out. Just put your child first but don't deprive him of his aunty. Talk to her and if she doesn't listen write her off.
