Alyssas husband, Nick, died in 2015 after spending more than a year in long-term care following an accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury.

Alyssas family says since Nicks death, shes been spiraling out of control. They claim shes drinking too much, driving drunk, staying out all night, bringing home strangers, and neglecting her kids.

Alyssas Stepmom Bonnie says, Two nights in a row; we had to take her away from a bar because she was incapable of driving safely.

Alyssas daughter Anna says she and her mom arent currently speaking to one another. Shes mad at me for telling everyone she has a drinking problem. Anna also claims her younger brother and sister are too scared to stay at home, because Anna says they say Alyssa brings home random men.

Shes not acting appropriately as a grieving mother, says Alyssas dad, Gus. Especially in the eyes of her children.

Its like my moms become a teenager again, says Anna. And my younger sister and I have to be her mom.
