All I was done is disrupted attachments and they don't attach to anybody.

So then we expect them to be able to attach to their children.

So that's a lot of time where the big problem is.

So where we see how Ashley has stopped breaking the attachment, keep the child with them and help them to work through it.

So we need more of them.

One of these should be in every county to make it normal.

To start, it's health.

Addiction needs to be treated as any other health condition.

You know, if somebody from any other county in Ireland had a different health condition that they needed support with, they could find it in the county that they're from.

So, yeah, the more that these do become visible, we can start addressing early intervention, not waiting until it gets to a stage where it has significant consequence and damage to both the woman and their children.

Weekday mornings at 9 on Newstalk.

Conversation that counts.
