BROOKE SHIELDS - SHIELDS BATTLING WITH ALCOHOLIC MOTHER

BROOKE SHIELDS has revealed her mother TERI is struggling with alcoholism. The actress, who famously struggled with post-partum depression after the birth of her first child, is now facing another family crisis as her mother, a former model, spirals into a deep booze-fuelled depression. Shields tells the upcoming issue of America's Life magazine she's struggling to cope with her mother's problems, and has discovered that offering her tough love is the best way to go. She says, "She's an alcoholic and that affects everything and she's very sad... I have to draw a line or I get pulled back in."
